Notes

edit
  1. ^ a b Car No. 22 entered as WTM by Rinaldi Racing. Cars No. 66 and No. 71 entered as Rinaldi Racing.
  2. ^ a b Gutak is Russian, but he competes as a neutral competitor as Russian national emblems were banned by the FIA following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Bukhantsov, also a Russian, competes under an Emirati licence for the same reason.
