Hispania's Karun Chandhok has been handed a 5-place grid drop ahead of qualifying in Barcelona this afternoon.
Drivers are required to run the same gearbox for four full race weekends - in order to keep costs to a minimum - although Indian Chandhok receives the penalty following a change at the Circuit de Catalunya after Friday practice.
However, as Hispania are almost certain to be eliminated from Q1 in normal circumstances, the Murcia-based team effectively receives no disadvantage in comparison to its current expected pace.
