Mark Webber will take a five-place grid penalty for the Belgian Grand Prix thanks to a change of gearbox.
The gearbox on his RB8 was changed prior to final practice, but because he finished the Hungarian GP, he is in breach of the gearbox regulations.
“The above driver [Webber] did finish the last race in Budapest and this gearbox change was before the five consecutive events expired,” said an FIA statement.
The Australian is currently Fernando Alonso’s closest rival in the championship.
