Sebastian Vettel is to undertake a gearbox change before qualifying at Silverstone and the Ferrari driver will thus receive a five-place grid penalty for the second race in succession.
The German suffered a failure right at the end of FP3, and expressed his disappointment over the radio and by clapping his hands in frustration as he passed the pits. He was able to get the car back to the garage, but the team has told the FIA it will make a change.
Marcus Ericsson will also receive a new gearbox after crashing his Sauber heavily in FP3. However, the Swede has gone to hospital for a check-up and will not be able to participate in qualifying, making his five-place penalty academic.
