There has been one change to the provisional starting grid for the 2024 F1 Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai.
Williams has opted to make set-up changes outside of parc ferme conditions to Logan Sargeant's car, and so the American is to start from the pit-lane, leaving 19 cars on the car with Max Verstappen on pole position.
Elsewhere, Carlos Sainz keeps his seventh place on the grid after Aston Martin's protest against the Ferrari driver was dismissed by the stewards after qualifying.
