Rules about gearboxes

Post

If you make Q3 but have a 5 place grid pen do you get tyre choice if you drop back to tenth or worse and the guy that moves up does he loose tyre choice.

No, I'm pretty sure the tyre choice rules are set before penalties are applied.

Correct, you made Q3 so Q3 tyre rules are applied before penalty.
