Notes
  1. 20 cars started the warmup lap before the start, but 14 cars pulled to pit lane during the start and did not participate in the race as part of a Michelin withdrawal.
  2. All cars finished the race apart from Felipe Nasr, who was still classified as he had completed more than 90% of the race distance.
  3. All cars finished the race apart from Brendon Hartley, who was still classified as he had completed more than 90% of the race distance.
  4. Since 1982, all race timings have been done to the nearest 0.001 seconds, but previously many races, including the 1971 Italian Grand Prix, were not. As a result it is impossible to know whether the finish was closer than that of the 2002 United States Grand Prix.
  5. 22 races were originally planned for the 2020 Championship before several calendar revisions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic were made, eventuating in 17 races planned.
