Notes:

  • ^1Isack Hadjar and Zak O'Sullivan both retired from the race, but were classified as they completed over 90% of the race distance.
  • ^2 – Both Trident drivers Richard Verschoor and Roman Staněk were disqualified after the sprint race due to a technical infringement, as it was found that both drivers have had an incorrect throttle pedal progressivity map installed prior to the race which was not in compliance with Article 8.2.6 of the Technical Regulations. As a result, Dennis Hauger inherited the win from Verschoor.[10]
  • ^3Oliver Bearman was scheduled to start tenth after the grid reversal, but withdrew after Ferrari Formula One driver Carlos Sainz, Jr. withdrew because of appendicitis, and was promoted to the team for the F1 race.
