Its purely a change because he obviously had gearbox damage. The most concerning thing I noticed was with Vettels engine when changing up through the gears It did not sound too healthy. Keeping an ear out for that during the race.

Yep. Now Webber is gonna be on a fresh gearbox that will last, and Vettel’s will probably fail on him, given his luck with Red Bull unreliability.

Must have been due to the small clash with the “wall of champions” that damaged the gearbox
