Footnotes
Josh Files qualified fastest but was handed a 3 place grid penalty for an infraction from the previous round. Files was credited with pole position and awarded the 5 championship points for it despite starting the race in 4th position. Jean-Karl Vernay , who was the next fastest qualifier, thus started from the first grid slot.
