With Frederik Vesti's win and Oscar Piastri finishing in third in the first race, Prema Racing prematurely secured the teams' championship back-to-back with three races to spare.
The Qualifying session took place on 4 September 2020, with Théo Pourchaire setting the fastest laptime of the session. However, him, Smolyar, Chovet, Zendeli, Caldwell, Fernández, Beckmann, Vesti and championship leader Oscar Piastri were all penalized for blocking the track in Qualifying, therefore allowing Liam Lawson, who had initially set the fourth-best laptime, to inherit pole position.
^2 - Aleksandr Smolyar was given a further three-place grid drop for driving unnecessary slowly before Turn 2, which forced the entire field to slow down and caused a potentially dangerous situation.
^1 - Jack Doohan originally finished twelfth, but was given a five second time penalty after it was found that he overtook Enzo Fittipaldi before the end of a Safety Car period.
^2 - Matteo Nannini received a three-place grid penalty for race 2 for causing contact between himself and Liam Lawson.
^1 - Liam Lawson originally finished second, but was given a ten-second time penalty for forcing Lirim Zendeli off the track at turn 1.
^2 - Bent Viscaal originally finished eleventh, but was disqualified for a team member reattaching his steering wheel to the car without requesting permission from the Technical Delegate.
