Timo Glock and Lucas di Grassi will both be given five-place grid penalties at the Spanish Grand Prix after their Virgin Racing team failed to notify the FIA about its intended gear ratios in time.
F1 teams are supposed to notify the FIA's technical delegate about the gear ratios that the team will be using for the rest of the weekend within two hours of the end of Friday's free practice session. Virgin Racing failed to do that, which is a breach of the sport's technical regulations.
The race stewards issued a statement on Saturday morning stating that both Glock and di Grassi would be handed five-place grid penalties.
