^ Lando Norris was considered rookie for rounds 3 and 5, however prior to round 8, he was reclassified as a non-rookie and therefore his results and victories from this category have been erased. David Beckmann inherits the Brit's four rookie wins as he finished runner-up to Norris in all of them. ^ a b "ADAC Formula 4 will line up on seven race weekends under the banner of the ADAC GT Masters" .
