2026 Italian GP: Albon grid drop reported

Motorsport.com reported Alex Albon and Kimi Antonelli were sent to the back for the 2026 Italian Grand Prix, with Oscar Piastri also penalised.

Motorsport.com reported that Alex Albon and Kimi Antonelli were set to start the 2026 Italian Grand Prix from the back of the grid after penalties linked to power unit changes. Because the supplied material does not include official FIA confirmation, that grid change remains a reported development rather than a confirmed starting order here.

The same report said Oscar Piastri had been given a three-place grid penalty for impeding Lawson in qualifying. It also stated that Fernando Alonso would start ahead of the penalised drivers, although the excerpt provided did not include his exact grid position.

With no FIA document or official Formula 1 starting grid included in the supplied sources, the Monza order should be treated as provisional. On the material provided, only the reported penalties for Albon, Antonelli and Piastri can be stated.
