Valtteri Bottas and Fernando Alonso will start Sunday's Austrian Grand Prix with new parts. Bottas will start from the pit lane, while Alonso's start will be from the last row of the grid.
Bottas had already had a new power unit screwed into his Alfa Romeo on Friday, which meant he would start last. After Saturday's sprint race, he had not only a new turbocharger and MGU-H, but also modified his rear wing and suspension. The Finn will start the Grand Prix from the pit lane.

Alonso starts from the back

Alonso's sprint race was over before it even started. The Alpine driver still had his tyre warmers on and was still on the jack, while his opponents were already starting the warm-up lap of the sprint.
It later emerged that Alonso's Alpine had an electronic problem. The two-time world champion will start the Austrian Grand Prix from the last row of the grid with a set of brand new parts for his engine.
