Michael Schumacher was assessed a five-place grid penalty for the Bahrain Grand Prix after Mercedes elected to change the gearbox on his car ahead of the race.
The German failed to make it through Q1 at Sakhir after he suffered a DRS problem on his only flying lap, which meant he was scheduled to start from 17th on the grid thanks to Pastor Maldonado's penalty.
However, with Schumacher already facing a difficult situation in trying to move forward, the team has decided to change his gearbox as well, moving him back to 22nd.
