- Stewards' reasoning
- BWT Alpine F1 Team changed the setup of Gasly under Parc Ferme, without the approval of the Technical Delegate. Furthermore, BWT Alpine F1 Team continued to work on the car beyond the covers- on time which is a breach of article B3.4.2a of the FIA F1 Regulations. The F1 car is therefore required to start the Sprint from pit lane as per Article B3.5.3b of the FIA F1 Regulations.
