Gearbox Usage
=============

Jo Bauer's Technical Report (click on 'Scrutineering Reports' on this page):

"www .fia,com /mediacentre/Press_Information/F1/F1_Press_Information/2008/bahrain.html"

says that Timo Glock and Sebastien Vettel started the Bahrain GP with new
gearboxes. Both were 'free' changes because they had failed to finish in
Sepang.

Timo Glock was penalised (five grid positions) in Melbourne because Toyota
changed his gearbox after P3.
