Classification
[edit]Qualifying
[edit]
Notes:
- ^1 – Hunter Yeany originally qualified 22nd by setting a lap time of 1:35.132, but was given a 10-place grid drop for Saturday's Sprint Race and his time was deleted as he was found to be significantally speeding under double yellow flag conditions while setting his fastest lap time. As a result, the penalty dropped him to P26 in the final classification and to P29 for the Sprint Race.[4]
- ^2 – Tommy Smith originally qualified 28th, but was given a carrying penalty from the Sakhir Feature Race for his involvement in two incidents. For both, he was assigned a three-place grid drop and a ten-second time-penalty, with the latter being converted into another three-place grid drop. However, the penalty will not have any effect of his grid position as Yeany got penalised and Pepe Martí did not set a time during qualifying.[5]
- ^3 – Pepe Martí failed to set any valid time after crashing at the opening stages of qualifying, but was later given permission to start both races from the back of the grid.
Sprint race
[edit]Notes
- ^1 – Franco Colapinto, Mari Boya and Jonny Edgar all have been disqualified from the Sprint Race as it was found the suspension keels on all three MP Motorsport cars did not conform to regulations. Colapinto had finished the race in first place, so following his disqualification Zak O'Sullivan inherited the win and Luke Browning was credited with the fastest lap. However, Christian Mansell received the fastest lap point as he posted the fastest lap among the drivers classified among the top ten.[6]
Feature race
[edit]Notes
- ^1 – Luke Browning originally finished sixth, but was later given a five-second penalty for causing a collision with Franco Colapinto, dropping him down to eighth.[7]
- ^2 – Dino Beganovic originally finished eighth, but was later given a ten-second time-penalty for causing a collision with Caio Collet, dropping him out of the points in thirteenth.[7]
- ^3 – Nikita Bedrin retired from the race, but was classified as he completed over 90% of the race distance.
