NEWS STORY

The Race Stewards in Monaco have confirmed that Giancarlo Fisichella will receive a five-place grid penalty after changing the gearbox in his Force India following this morning's final free practice session.

This is a breach of Article 28.6A of the 2008 FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations.

The Stewards had previously confirmed that Sebastian Vettel will receive a similar penalty for replacing the gearbox on his Toro Rosso prior to the third free practice session.

The German is actually using a totally new car in Monaco, but the gearbox rule still applies.
