Notes

* ^ – Ten grid position penalty for Laine (ignoring yellow flag during free practice); the same penalty to Haryanto, Melker and Hylkema (causing collisions during Race 2 in Valencia).
* ^ – Most drivers elected to start the warm-up lap with slicks. Due to increasing rain, several drivers pitted for wet-weather tyres from the warm-up lap.
* ^ – Stöckinger was given a 30 seconds time penalty after the race for ignoring yellow flags.
* ^ – Zimin was excluded from the race results because of forcing Laine off the track; Zimin was also suspended from Race 2.
