Lance Stroll to start from the Hungaroring pit lane

Lance Stroll will start the Hungarian GP from the pit lane after Williams changed his front wing and nose for a different spec following his qualifying crash.

Stroll made it into Q2 at the Hungaroring on Saturday only for his qualifying to be cut short when he went off in the rain.

The Williams driver hit the barrier nose first, damaging the front end of the car.

Stroll had been running Williams’ newest spec front wing but, as a result of the damage, has been forced to swap to an older spec.

As such he will start the race from the pit lane.

Lewis Hamilton starts from pole position with Valtteri Bottas alongside his team-mate.
