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

Notes
  1. Nelson Piquet Jr. set the fastest lap, but she was disqualified after the competition as his team broke regulations and changed all four of his tyres during the race, so the points were given to Gianmaria Bruni.[1]
