Grosjean to get five-place grid penalty

Romain Grosjean

Romain Grosjean is set to receive a five-place grid penalty for the Italian Grand Prix, with Haas changing the gearbox in his car following Saturday's final practice session.

Grosjean lost control of his VF-16 as he entered the Ascari complex early in FP3, before sliding rearward into the gravel trap, where he was unable to get the car moving again.

Grosjean made reference to the gearbox during his struggle and Haas has since swapped the unit for a new one, before the six-race requirement, meaning a penalty will follow.

Grosjean will thus drop five places from wherever he qualifies.
