Franco Colapinto is to start the Belgian Grand Prix Sprint race from the pit-lane after Alpine made changes to his car.

Due to start 19th, Colapinto has been removed from the grid owing to the rear wing being changed, a breach of parc ferme regulations.

As such, there will only be 19 cars on the grid with the Argentine's absence, with Kimi Antonelli shuffling forward one place after a "weird" Sprint qualifying.
