Hulkenberg opts to change set-up: Haas driver starts from pitlane

The reason for the pitlane start is to change the set-up. In doing so, the German is breaking the parc fermé rules, which means he has a catch-up race ahead of him this Sunday. With his car's new set-up, Hulkenberg hopes to get closer to points, despite having to come from just a little further away as a result.

Nyck de Vries takes advantage. He was on P20 in qualifying, but will thus be at least eighteenth through the first corner.
