Standings after the event

  • Note: Only the top five positions are included for both sets of standings.

Notes

  1. ^ Sakon Yamamoto set the fastest lap, but did not finish in the top 10, so was ineligible to be the point-scorer for the fastest lap. Javier Villa was the point-scorer instead for setting the fastest lap of those finishing in the top 10.
