The FIA – International Automobile Federation has just informed that Fernando Alonso will receive a new power unit on the Alpine before the Spanish Grand Prix; As a result, he will start last.
The internal combustion engine installed on the race car is the 4th of the season. This means that the team has already used one engine more than what the regulations allow. This will allow Alonso to use the previous engines again later in the season without penalty. The same applies to the turbo, the MGU-H, and the MGU-K.
Qualified only 17th, this allows Stroll, Albon and Latifi to move up one position.
