Nico Hulkenberg is set to receive a five-place grid penalty for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix as a result of an unscheduled gearbox change.
Renault notified the Technical Delegate following problems in the final practice session, having deemed that a change was required.
As the change is before the six consecutive events has expired, Hulkenberg will drop five places from wherever he qualifies at the Baku City Circuit.
Hulkenberg, who has started seventh for the last six races, was only 17th in FP3.
