Esteban Ocon is moving to the pit-lane to start the Mexico City Grand Prix.
Esteban Ocon will start the Mexico City Grand Prix from the F1 pit-lane due to Alpine’s power unit components change. He qualified 19th and was supposed to start on the back-row with Zhou Guanyu, but now will commence the 71-lap race from the pit-lane. Alpine decided to change the control electronics and energy store on Ocon’s car, exceeding the permitted penalty-free limit for the season. This third instance of part changes led to Ocon’s placement in the pit-lane per Article 40.9 of the sporting regulations regarding parc ferme. The grid’s remainder remains unaltered, except for Zhou moving up from 20th to 19th.
