LEWIS Hamilton's hopes of a hat-trick of pole positions disappeared at the Chinese Grand Prix yesterday when McLaren said he would collect a five-place penalty on the starting grid for an unscheduled gearbox change.
The 2008 Formula One world champion has yet to win this season despite starting the first two races in Australia and Malaysia on pole. The Briton won in China last year and is the only driver to have won twice in Shanghai.
A spokesman said Hamilton would use the car's existing gearbox for today practice before having it switched out for tomorrow.
"It doesn't alter my approach at all," Hamilton said of qualifying and Sunday's race.
