Franco Colapinto is set to start from the pit lane at the 2025 Qatar Grand Prix.
For the second day in a row, the young Argentinian will start from the pit lane at the Losail International Circuit. Similarly to the Sprint, Alpine made changes to his setup under Parc Fermé conditions. Colapinto finished 20th in qualifying a day ago.

Red Bull has changed Max Verstappen's power unit for the Qatar Grand Prix. The Dutchman will not receive a grid penalty, as his RB21 was equipped with previously used engine components.
