Both Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll will be investigated after the Italian Grand Prix, following a practice start infringement.
On both Aston Martin drivers reconnaissance laps, Alonso and Stroll appeared to perform a practice start in the incorrect position, further down the pit lane exit than it should be.
As a result, both will visit the stewards following the Italian GP. At Monza, Alonso starts from eighth, while Stroll is further towards the back of the grid in 16th.
The incident represents a second consecutive grand prix featuring a pre-race incident which required an investigation.
In Zandvoort, Lewis Hamilton was investigated and, ultimately, penalised post-race after failing to slow under yellow flags on his Dutch GP reconaissance lap.
