Notes

  1. {{Note|4}} – Ten grid position penalty for Laine (ignoring yellow flag during free practice); the same penalty to Haryanto, Melker and Hylkema (causing collisions during Race 2 in Valencia).{{cite news |url=http://gp3series.com/news/Silverstone-Rd-4-2011/Quaife-Hobbs-clinches-maiden-pole/ |title=Quaife-Hobbs clinches maiden pole |publisher=GP3 Series |date=9 July 2011}}
  2. {{Note|5}} – Most drivers elected to start the warm-up lap with slicks. Due to increasing rain, several drivers pitted for wet-weather tyres from the warm-up lap.{{cite news |url=http://gp3series.com/news/Silverstone-Rd-4-2011/Muller-wins-Silverstone-race/ |title=Müller wins frenzied Silverstone race |publisher=GP3 Series |date=9 July 2011}}
  3. {{Note|6}} – Stöckinger was given a 30 seconds time penalty after the race for ignoring yellow flags.{{cite news |url=http://gp3series.com/news/Silverstone-Rd-4-2011/Silverstone-post-Race-1-penalties/ |title=Silverstone post-Race 1 penalties |publisher=GP3 Series |date=9 July 2011}}
  4. {{Note|7}} – Zimin was excluded from the race results because of forcing Laine off the track; Zimin was also suspended from Race 2.
