British GP sprint grid changed after Williams alters Albon's car

sportsJul 4, 202623323

Williams changed Alex Albon's car setup at Silverstone, altering the suspension and thereby breaking parc ferme conditions. Albon, who had qualified to start the Sprint in 16th place, must now begin the British Grand Prix Sprint from the pit lane. Cars entered parc ferme before Sprint Qualifying and are not released until after the Sprint has finished, which triggered the compulsory pit-lane start. The field will therefore list 21 cars on the grid for the 12:00 BST Sprint start rather than the full 22.
