- F2 entries were ineligible to score points which meant Bruce McLaren did not score two points for his fifth place finish.
- Despite finishing tenth, Cliff Allison was the fifth F1 car to finish, however he did not score any points due to the fact that he finished behind F2 cars in the race. The usual two points allocated to the driver who finished fifth were not awarded in this race.
