Nice pole for Hamilton.

After Vettel crashed on the in lap last week, commentators were saying he'd likely need another new gearbox which would incur a grid penalty this week.

Can anyone explain to me what's gone on or why this hasn't happened? Looked on the BBC site and it's full of crap conspiracy theories about ferrari swapping cars etc.

I heard that somehow the gearbox hadn't been damaged incredibly
 
Something definately seems amiss.

Not had chance to see any of the qualifying but Ricciardo seems to have done well to start ahead of Max

Also there are seals on the gearbox so the FIA would know if there was some tampering

Edit: just realised the article was in Italian, will try to find an English one
