Why swap them? Just fit a new one.

Dog rings on the gearbox is heading into triggers broom territory. Crack it open and you get a penalty in my book.

Deuse was suggesting the least worn parts were put on Vettels car. But the only worn components that have to be fitted are restricted to each car anyway. If they can replace them they would be, like you said, with new parts.
 
Just realised that I've spend the last 10 minutes playing games on my phone.

Shows the amount of interest I have in F1 at the moment really.

anyone else have an intense dislike for vettels race engineer ? Literally every single race he will get on the radio and try and make out there is some drama with vettel and how he has to take it easy because situation is critical or whatever, absolute nonsense... And nothing bad ever happens. He's an absolute whopper.

Also those Torro Rosso's are so hard to overtake. Unless you're in a Red Bull, of course.

I think they do that just to try to stop him going faster and faster and stressing the car when they don't need to. I don't think anything sinister is intended.
