Notes
  1. ^ All drivers competed in Dallara chassis; model listed.
  2. ^ Daniel Juncadella was disqualified from the first Norisring race after collisions with Pascal Wehrlein and Raffaele Marciello. As drivers were not promoted in the race results, no driver was officially recognised as having finished in first place.[21]

Championship standings

The third race at the Norisring was red-flagged after half the race had been completed due to torrential rain. As a result, series organisers only awarded half points to each of the classified finishers eligible to score points.[22] Similarly, half-points were awarded in the second race at Zandvoort, as only five laps were completed within the allotted time limit for racing.[23]
