Vettel faces grid penalty, gearbox change!!!!!!

Sebastian Vettel is due to carry a five-place grid penalty into this weekend’s Formula 1 Grosser Preis von Osterreich 2016 after Ferrari were forced to make an unscheduled change of his gearbox. 

The change was made after the Italian team discovered metal filings in the German’s gearbox following the 2016 Formula 1 Grand Prix of Europe in Baku.

The switch was confirmed by the FIA at the end of an eventful first day for Vettel in Spielberg, during which he finished third and fourth in the respective practice sessions but also had a big spin into the gravel at Turn 2 after a brake bias issue.

Even though the New Ferrari is equiped with the upgraded engine, the advantage will be surely lost as the grid penalty is in place. The responsibily of the Ferrari will surely fall on the Finnish Kimi. The driver is not seem to be performing with seriousness as of late.

Need to look our for as a stunner is the Force India cars. This is the team which is not considered as a competitor but pulled of a stunner in Monaco and Baku. It would not be a surprise to see even Max Verstappen on the podium.
