Verstappen hit with Belgian GP grid penalty after F1 gearbox change

Max Verstappen is to take a five-place grid penalty for Formula 1’s Belgian Grand Prix after taking an extra gearbox. 

Red Bull said ahead of Friday running at Spa-Francorchamps that it had elected to fit a fifth gearbox to Verstappen’s RB19 for this weekend’s race. 

F1 drivers are limited to four of the gearboxes assemblies for the full season and Verstappen is the first driver to exceed that.
