F1 team issue official statement as star driver set for Canadian GP demotion
The Alpine F1 team confirmed that Pierre Gasly will begin the Canadian Grand Prix from the pit-lane due to a challenging qualifying session. Gasly was initially set to start P19 on the grid. Red Bull’s Yuki Tsunoda faced a 10-place penalty, pushing him even further back than Gasly. Late changes to Gasly’s car necessitated the pit-lane start, a decision made by Alpine after taking his car out of parc ferme conditions. This move aims to potentially improve Gasly’s position in the race, which would have otherwise started from P19. The FIA will soon release an official ruling on this matter.
