Fernando Alonso, Lance Stroll and Guanyu Zhou will start from the pit lane at the start of the Sprint race this Saturday in Brazil.
For the Aston Martin drivers, the body specification and suspension setting were changed, while for Guanyu Zhou, it was only the suspension setting that was changed.
All these modifications having taken place under parc ferme, Fernando Alonso, Lance Stroll and Guanyu Zhou are therefore forced to start from the pit lane at the start of the Sprint race of the Brazilian Grand Prix.
As a reminder, Alonso qualified 16th, while Stroll and Zhou finished Sprint Qualifying in the last two places, 19th and 20th respectively.
Esteban Ocon and Yuki Tsunoda, qualified 17th and 18th respectively, therefore gain a position on the Sprint grid.
The Brazilian F1 Grand Prix Sprint Race will start at 3:00 p.m. PST for 24 laps of racing. As a reminder, the top 8 score points, with the winner scoring eight points, the second seven, and so on until the eighth.
This Sprint race of the Brazilian F1 Grand Prix will be followed live on our Live Center accessible here.
