Gearbox change penalty for Barrichello

Rubens Barrichello has received a ten place grid penalty for changing his gearbox before today's French Grand Prix.

The Brazilian Honda driver had only qualified in 18th, and was set to start 17th with Nico Rosberg serving a penalty for his crash in Canada. However, the gearbox change now relegates Barrichello to the back of the grid.
