Fernando Alonso will start Sunday’s Italian Grand Prix from the pit lane at Monza, rather than 18th on the grid.

Aston Martin said it detected unusual behavior in data from several power-unit components during the first qualifying session on Saturday. The issue prevented the two-time world champion from completing a final qualifying attempt.

The team worked on Alonso’s car overnight, which means the 45-year-old Spaniard will now begin the 13th round of the Formula One season from the pit lane. Monza is the circuit where Alonso recorded two of his 32 Formula One victories, in 2007 with McLaren and in 2010 with Ferrari.

On Saturday, during Q1, we observed strange behavior in the data from some components of Fernando’s power unit. This prevented Fernando from completing a final attempt in qualifying.
