Red Bull Racing will be fitting metal plates to its cars' gearboxes this weekend following a strange reason for Mark Webber's retirement from the race last year. Post-race investigations by Red Bull revealed that Webber's gearbox had selected two gears simultaneously resulting in mechanical damage. The team believes that the reason for such a bizarre happening could have been an electrical surge due to an underground train passing below the track. For this reason, the metal plates have been added to the gearboxes plus updates to its software.
