Monaco 2013 - Starting grid - A couple of gearbox penalties hit the rear of the field
Published by Christine
Considering the number of crashes we have seen so far, it's a wonder there are only two gearbox penalties being handed out ahead of the Grand Prix. Felipe Massa had to have his car rebuilt after a big accident in final practice, and that resulted in a gearbox change and penalty. Chilton had a post-qualifying gearbox alteration as well.
