Hulkenberg set for gearbox change penalty

Renault driver Nico Hulkenberg is set to lose five places on the Hungarian Grand Prix grid after needing a new gearbox for the event.

Renault found damage in the gearbox ahead of the Hungaroring race and informed the FIA of the change on Wednesday. The gearbox replacement will translate into a five-place grid penalty in Hungary.
