Summary
Fernando Alonso is required to start the Singapore Grand Prix from the pit lane after Aston Martin breached parc fermé regulations and used a sixth Turbocharger.
Explanation
The stewards found that Aston Martin used a sixth Turbocharger (TC) on Car 14, which normally incurs a 5-place grid penalty. However, the team also changed the suspension setup under parc fermé without Technical Delegate approval (breaching Articles B3.5.3 and B3.5.4) and worked on the car beyond the covers-on time (breaching Articles B3.4.3a and B3.4.3b). Consequently, Car 14 is required to start the race from the pit lane per Article B3.5.3b, superseding the grid penalty.
