P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Lewis Hamilton is one of three drivers set to start from the pit lane.
Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, and Kimi Antonelli will all have to begin the Belgian Grand Prix from the pit-lane due to engine component changes made after parc fermé, violating Article 40.9b of the F1 sporting regulations. Hamilton received a completely new engine at Spa-Francorchamps, along with a rear suspension alteration. Additionally, Hamilton’s new ICE, TC, MGU-H, MGU-K, ES, and CS all exceed his legal pool, breaking Article 28.2. The seven-time world champion now has used seven of eight exhausts allocated to him. Both Antonelli and Alonso also had to replace their ICE, TC, MGU-H, and MGU-K beyond their pool limits. Despite qualifying in 16th, 18th, and 19th positions, Hamilton, Alonso, and Antonelli are allowed to switch to a wet race setup.
