Oliver Bearman, Alex Albon, Pierre Gasly, and Valtteri Bottas will all start the Canadian GP Sprint race from the Montreal pit-lane.
For Gasly's P19 Alpine and Albon's P21 Williams, changes have been made to the cars outside of parc ferme, with both machines not being covered two hours after the end of SQ3 on Friday, meaning pit-lane starts are required.
For Bearman's P16 Haas, a simple set-up change has been made to the car, forcing him into the pit-lane, the same fate for Bottas's Cadillac, which was due to start in P20.
As a result, Fernando Alonso moves up to 15th, with all those behind to Liam Lawson moving up places, with Lawson P19.
