Nico Rosberg has been handed a five-place grid penalty for the Belgian Grand Prix after his team changed his gearbox ahead of qualifying.
Mercedes GP swapped boxes when Rosberg's failed after Saturday morning's final free practice session and, having not used the old unit for the mandatory four races, it means he will have a penalty.
Rosberg's penalty comes with team-mate Michael Schumacher facing a 10-place grid penalty for his aggressive defensive driving against Rubens Barrichello in Hungary.
