Alex Albon will start from the pit lane for the sprint at the Chinese Grand Prix, after Williams made changes to the set-up of the suspension on his FW48.
As per F1 regulations, this constitutes a breach of parc ferme, and he has been removed from the grid. As a result, those who were due to start behind him have moved up one slot, leaving just 21 cars to line up.
The Thai driver had qualified in P18, just behind team-mate Carlos Sainz. All those in front of the Spaniard will assume their expected starting slots.
