FIA confirms 20-place grid penalty for Italian Grand Prix

The FIA has confirmed that Alex Albon will face a 20-place grid penalty for the upcoming Italian Grand Prix at Monza. This penalty arises from the installation of a fifth Internal Combustion Engine and a fourth Control Electronics Unit in his Williams FW48, both of which exceed the limits set by the 2026 Formula One Sporting Regulations.

Albon's penalties reflect the regulations that impose a 10-place grid drop for the first instance of exceeding the allocation for any power unit component. He joins Kimi Antonelli in serving a power unit-related penalty this weekend, as both drivers will start from the back of the grid.
