Grosjean and Vettel take gearbox penalties

Romain Grosjean and Sebastian Vettel will both take five-place grid penalties as a result of new gearboxes ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix.

Grosjean crashed in Q2 at Turn 10, with Haas discovering his gearbox was damaged in the incident. Having originally qualified 15th - which became 14th as a result of an eight-place grid penalty for Sergio Perez - Grosjean will now drop to 19th on the grid for today's race.

Vettel had a rear anti-roll bar problem during Q1 and failed to get out of the first part of qualifying, finishing with the slowest time in the session. With the German already starting from last on the grid, Ferrari has taken the opportunity to make a number of his chances to his car.

Following qualifying, Ferrari has given Vettel a new internal combustion engine (ICE), turborcharger and MGU-H. All three components are the sixth of each one and so the ICE carries a ten-place grid penalty, with the subsequent two components carrying additional five-place grid penalties. The new gearbox also carries a five-place grid penalty - bringing the total grid drop to 25 places - but as Vettel was already last on the grid he will stay in 22nd place.

Following his grid penalty on Saturday, Perez moves up a place to 17th as a result of Grosjean's drop.
