Maldonado to get gearbox penalty

Pastor Maldonado is set for a five-place grid penalty for the Bahrain Grand Prix after needing a new gearbox on his Williams for this weekend's event. The Venezuelan was eighth in China, which was his first finish of the season, but his Williams team found a problem with the gearbox after the grand prix and it was decided he would need a new unit for the Sakhir race.
