Alex Albon is to start the British Grand Prix Sprint race from the pit-lane after Williams broke parc ferme conditions at Silverstone.
Due to start in 16th place, the Thai driver will now be relegated to the pit-lane after the team elected to change the set-up of the suspension of his machine.
Cars entered parc ferme before Sprint Qualifying and are not released from it until after the Sprint has finished, meaning Albon is required to start from the pit-lane, leaving 21 cars on the grid for the 12:00 BST start to the Sprint.
