Round 4: Pizzonia (#3) and Monteiro (#5) both lost their two fastest qualifying laps due to setting their fastest times under yellow flags. Round 5: Alex Müller (car #20) disqualified from race as car was below minimum weight. Round 10: Tomas Enge (car #19) disqualified from event in post-season FIA hearing due to a dope test sample taken at the event testing positive; Antonio Pizzonia (car #3) disqualified from race in post-season FIA hearing due to rear wing element being fitted upside-down.
