Franco Colapinto starts from the pit lane at Silverstone

      Alpine driver Franco Colapinto will start from the pits in Sunday's race at Silverstone.

      After qualifying, the team mechanics replaced the power unit on his car. Franco received a new internal combustion engine, a new turbocharger, new MGU-H and MGU-K motor-generators, a new energy store, a new electronics control unit, and a new exhaust system.

      To carry out all the replacements, the team had to break the “parc ferme” regulations, so as a penalty, Franco Colapinto will start from the pits.
