Alex Albon lost eighth place on the grid at the Dutch Grand Prix due to his non-compliant Williams car, which was found to have technical regulation issues. The FIA delegate flagged concerns about the new floor brought as a major upgrade to Zandvoort by Williams, leading to the exclusion of Albon’s car from the qualifying results following a hearing. Despite Williams’ own measurements differing, the stewards upheld the FIA system’s measurement as the correct one, resulting in a penalty for the infringement. Albon, who initially qualified eighth, will now start from the pit lane as the car’s specifications must be modified to meet regulations, causing other drivers to move up one position in the grid.
