Notes:

  • ^1  Joel Eriksson and Sérgio Sette Câmara received a 20-place grid penalty each for changing the inverters in their Dragon / Penske Autosport cars.[7][8] As they didn't qualify high enough to drop all 20 positions, they had to serve a drive-through penalty at the start of the race.[9][10]
