Notes

^1 — Attila Tassi and Robert Huff was sent to the back of the grid for Race 1, after an engine change. Which in Tassi case was a car change after his big crash in the Friday test session.^[3]^[4]
^2 — Roberto Colciago was given a 5 place grid penalty after the Monza round, for a collision with Maťo Homola in Race 2. However, since Attila Tassi and Robert Huff had to start from the back of the grid for the same race, Colciago started from 13th position instead of 15th.^[5]
^3 — Davit Kajaia had his best laptime deleted during Q1, after improving his sector and laptime during yellow flags.^[6]
