About these results
Classifications come from official Formula 1 timing and are re-checked after every session, so post-race penalties and reinstated positions show up here without waiting for the next round.
+/-is places gained or lost between the qualifying classification and the finish. It’s worked out here by joining the two tables on this page — official results publish finishing order only, so a driver who recovered from a bad grid slot looks the same as one who qualified there. Drivers who retired show a dash rather than an invented loss.
