Franco Colapinto is to start the British Grand Prix from the
Silverstone pit-lane after Alpine opted to make changes to his car.
The Argentine driver was due to start last after spinning out
during Q1, leading to Alpine executive advisor Flavio Briatore to
hold his head in his hands. Given the fact that he was due to
start 20th, Alpine has decided to swap power unit components on the
A525, meaning Colapinto starts from the pit-lane for his first
British GP. It means there will be just 19 cars on the grid, with
Kimi Antonelli and Ollie Bearman suffering three and 10-place grid
drops following penalties from the stewards. You can check out the
