Max Verstappen will start the São Paulo Grand Prix from the pit lane due to changes made to his RB21 under parc ferme conditions by Red Bull. The FIA is expected to confirm this development soon, as reported by Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf. Red Bull also made modifications to Verstappen’s power unit after his disappointing P16 qualifying position in Brazil. Despite a poor grid-setting session, following a fourth-place finish in the sprint race, Verstappen was eliminated in Q1. Team-mate Yuki Tsunoda, on the other hand, faced his second Q1 knock-out of the weekend and is not expected to start from the pit lane. Red Bull is exploring new setup options and considering further changes to power unit components.
