The debut of Toro Rosso's STR3 at the Monaco Grand Prix will come at a cost to Sebastian Vettel.
The 20-year-old German will drop five places down the grid at Monte Carlo because the STR3 will use a different gearbox than the one that was used at the Turkish Grand Prix a fortnight ago.
Vettel raced with the team's STR2B in Istanbul and under 2008 regulations the same gearbox must be used for four races.
Team-mate Sebastien Bourdais will not face the same penalty because he did not finish the race in Turkey.
