Notes
1 - The race was scheduled to run 53 laps, but the results were taken
on lap 52 due to the chequered flag signal being mistakenly sent
one lap too early. As a result, Pérez's 9th place was kept, despite
crashing out of the race during the final lap.
2 – Ricciardo and Hülkenberg were originally classified 6th and 10th,
but were disqualified ten days after the race for using illegal
driver aids after a protest brought forward by Racing Point.
3 – Leclerc originally finished 6th, but received two time penalties:
five seconds for causing a collision with Verstappen and ten seconds
for driving in an unsafe condition after the collision.
4 – Verstappen and Albon set identical times in Q3; Verstappen started
ahead of Albon as his time was set first.
5 – Magnussen and Kubica both failed to set a Q1 time within the 107%
requirement. They were allowed to race at the stewards discretion.
Kubica also started the race from the pit lane for changing his
survival cell.
