Max Verstappen is set for a five-place grid penalty in Monaco after being 🌠forced into a gearbox change due to damage sustained in a crash during the final Formula 1 practice session of the weekend onꦛ Saturday.

Verstappen clipped the insid𝐆e barrier through the second part of the Swimming Pool chicane during a hot lap in FP🌜3, breaking his front-left wheel and sending his car into the wall at the exit of the corner at speed, bringing his session to an early end.

Red Bull continued to work on repairing Verꦡstappen's car in the break between final practice and qualifying, with work ongoing at the start of Q1 as they rushed to try and 🔯get the Dutchman out in time to take part in the session.

Should Verstappen make it out in qualifying, he is set to face a five-place grid penalty after the FIA confirmed Red Bull had ta♉ken a new gearbox on his car for the remainder of the weekend.

The matter ꦦwill be ref🐭erred to the stewards, who will then assess a five-place penalty to Verstappen as the previous gearbox had not made it through six consecutive events as required.
