Notes:

  • ^1 – Colton Herta withdrew from both races due to illness.[5]
  • ^2 – John Bennett had his fastest lap time deleted due to being the sole cause of a red flag after making contact with the concrete wall.[6]
  • ^3 – Sebastián Montoya, Nico Varrone, Kush Maini, and Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak all failed to set a lap time within 107% of the fastest driver. All were given permission by the stewards to start both races from the back of the grid.[7]
  • ^4 – Kush Maini received a ten-second time penalty during the sprint race for causing a collision with Nico Varrone. After failing to be classified in the sprint race, Maini's time penalty was converted into a five-place grid penalty for the feature race, dropping him from 19th to 21st on the grid.[8]
