Argentine driver for Alpine, Franco Colapinto, is currently under investigation by the stewards. It’s highly likely that he will face a grid penalty for the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix.
At the time the race was halted with a red flag, Colapinto entered the fast lane without receiving prior approval from the race director. This situation arose from a misunderstanding between Franco and his engineer, Josh Peckett.
“I thought it was okay to go out,” Colapinto explained to his engineer as he was the first to leave the pit lane.
Historically, such infractions almost always result in a loss of grid positions.

It’s worth mentioning that the red flags were triggered by an accident involving Red Bull’s Yuki Tsunoda.
