Notes

  • ^1Maťo Homola was sent to the back of the grid for Race 1, after an engine change after FP1.[4]
  • ^2Giacomo Altoè had his best laptime deleted during Q1 and therefore did not qualify for Q2. However, after qualifying, the stewards reversed this decision and Altoès best laptime was reinstated.[5]
