Four racers start from the pit lane in the sprint.
After the qualifying for the sprint of the Canadian Grand Prix, the teams Williams, Alpine, Haas, and Cadillac replaced the setups on the cars of Alex Albon, Pierre Gasly, Oliver Berman, and Valtteri Bottas, respectively. To do this, the teams' mechanics had to break the "park closed" regulations, so as a penalty, these four drivers will start from the pit lane. All four had qualifying results of 15th or worse, so in their case, the penalties will have little impact, but they will allow for an assessment of different configurations in preparation for the Sunday race.
