Notes

  • ^1Amaury Cordeel originally finished eighth, but was given a five-second time-penalty for track limit violations. As a consequence, Ayumu Iwasa inherited the final points position. He then received another ten-second time-penalty for failing to serve the time penalty during his pitstop.[5]
  • ^2Jehan Daruvala and Roy Nissany both collided on the final lap, but were classified as they completed over 90% of the race distance. Even though Nissany rejoined the race, he failed to complete the full race distance as he entered the pits at the end of the final lap.
