Notes[edit]
- ^ 20 cars started the warm-up 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.
- ^ All cars finished the race apart from Felipe Nasr, who was still classified as he had completed more than 90% of the race distance.
- ^ All cars finished the race apart from Brendon Hartley, who was still classified as he had completed more than 90% of the race distance.
- ^ The result was declared based on the order after one lap behind the safety car due to heavy rain.
- ^ All cars finished the race apart from Valtteri Bottas, who was still classified as he had completed more than 90% of the race distance.
- ^ All cars finished the race apart from Carlos Sainz Jr., who was still classified as he had completed more than 90% of the race distance.
- ^ It is disputed if the number of overtakes at the 2021 Monaco Grand Prix is zero or one.[10][11]
- ^ 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.
- ^ Williams made the unverified claim of a top speed of 373.303 km/h (231.96 mph).
- ^ This is an unrecognised claim made by Williams.
- ^ Including one penalty for Jenson Button.
