For the fourth time this season, Alex Albon will start from the pit lane.
Alex Albon will start the United States Grand Prix sprint from the pit lane due to changes made to his car under parc fermé conditions, marking the fourth time this season he has faced such a penalty. This is the third time he’s starting from the pit lane for a sprint event, having done so previously in Miami and Austria. In this instance, Williams adjusted the rear wing and suspension set-up for the shortened race at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin. Albon qualified 18th after an error in SQ1 prevented him from advancing out of the opening sprint qualifying phase. The technical delegate reported unauthorized changes made by Williams to Albon’s car, leading to the pit lane start as per Article 40.9 of the 2024 Formula One sporting regulations.
