The Haas driver will not be alone in the pit lane, however, as Alpine’s Esteban Ocon will also be starting from there due to his team changing the gearbox on his car. The stewards have confirmed that the reason for Hulkenberg’s pit lane start is due to the suspension set-up being changed from that previously used in the sprint race. This is in accordance with Article 40.9 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations.
