[🐛 Bug]: [Python] 4.26.0 request Read timed out. (read timeout=120) when init remote to Grid

[VietND96]

What happened?

The issue is found in docker-selenium, when executing tests to Grid (any versions) using Python client 4.26.0.
If a request has been waiting in the queue for over 120s,

Due to #14578 adding default timeout=120s. this value passing to _request when keep_alive=true. That causes the timeout in ClientConfig didn't take effect.

How can we reproduce the issue?

from selenium.webdriver.remote.client_config import ClientConfig

CLIENT_CONFIG = ClientConfig(remote_server_addr="%s://%s:%s" % (SELENIUM_GRID_PROTOCOL,SELENIUM_GRID_HOST,SELENIUM_GRID_PORT), timeout=3600, username=SELENIUM_GRID_USERNAME, password=SELENIUM_GRID_PASSWORD)

self.driver = webdriver.Remote(options=options, command_executor="%s://%s:%s" % (SELENIUM_GRID_PROTOCOL,SELENIUM_GRID_HOST,SELENIUM_GRID_PORT), client_config=CLIENT_CONFIG)

Relevant log output
