Classification
Qualifying
Notes
- ^1 – Pic was excluded from the results of the qualifying session because his car did not comply with the technical regulations, having insufficient fuel available for the scrutineering.[1]
- ^2 – Valsecchi was given a ten place grid penalty for Feature Race after setting his fastest sector time under yellow flags during the qualifying session.[2]
Feature Race
Notes
- ^3 – Fauzy and Král had their finishing positions swapped after post-race investigations: Fauzy passed the Czech driver behind the safety car but was ordered to let Král through. Then the stewards determined that the Malaysian was within his rights to pass Král, because the Czech had slowed too much, so they switched their positions.[3]
