edit

The season calendar has been significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to the cancellation or postponement of many races.

  • The Thailand Grand Prix was postponed on 2 March due to COVID-19 concerns.[40] It was later planned to take place on 4 October, shifting the Aragon Grand Prix forward by a week.[41]

  5. ^ Sam Lowes, who set the fastest time in qualifying, was required to start from the pit lane as a penalty for irresponsible riding during the previous race. As a result, Remy Gardner was due to start the race from pole position but was declared unfit to race after a crash in warm-up. Luca Marini ultimately inherited the pole position grid slot,[56] although Lowes was still credited with pole position.[57]
