Summary
Car 14 (Alonso) required to start from pit lane due to unapproved PU element replacements under parc fermé.
Explanation
Fernando Alonso (Car 14) will start the race from the pit lane after unapproved replacement of three Power Unit elements—Energy Store, Control Electronics, and MGU-K—during parc fermé. This violates Articles B8.2.2, B8.2.3, and B3.5.3 of the F1 Sporting Regulations. Although cumulative grid penalties exceed 15 places (triggering a back-of-grid start per B2.5.4b.iv), the pit lane start is mandated due to technical changes under parc fermé per B3.5.3 a. The penalty is based on B3.5.3 a and B8.2.8.
