Classification

Qualifying

Group B

;Notes
  • – Nicholas Latifi was given a three-place grid penalty for exiting the pit lane whilst the pit exit light was red.

Feature race

The race has been red-flagged midway-through on lap 20 after a collision between Mick Schumacher and Tatiana Calderón on Rascasse. As a result, everyone down between Calderón in ninth and Raghunathan in nineteenth was stuck behind the incident. That bizarrely meant that the entire top eight gained a lap on the rest of the field, although they would all have to serve their mandatory stop after the race restarted.
;Notes
  • – Ralph Boschung was given a ten-second time penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage.
  • – Mick Schumacher was given a five-second time penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage.
  • – Mahaveer Raghunathan was given a five-second time penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage as well as a twenty-second time penalty for causing an avoidable collision with Jack Aitken.
  • – Luca Ghiotto originally finished 2nd but was disqualified for his car using rack stops of a thickness that did not comply with the sporting regulations.
