Grid differs from qualifying for 9 drivers: Shinji Nakano qualified 14th, started 15th; Jan Magnussen qualified 15th, started 16th; Pedro Diniz qualified 16th, started 17th; Mika Salo qualified 17th, started 18th; Ukyo Katayama qualified 18th, started 19th; Jos Verstappen qualified 19th, started 20th; Tarso Marques qualified 20th, started 21st; Rubens Barrichello qualified 21st, started 22nd; Norberto Fontana qualified 22nd, started 14th. The data records the positions, not the reason; such gaps come from grid penalties, car or engine changes, or pit-lane starts. The small "q" number in the Grid column is the qualifying position.

Grid "PL" means started from the pit lane. FL marks the fastest lap of the race.

Gap: the driver's best time in any session (session named), in seconds behind the fastest time of qualifying. That is usually the pole time; when a session gets slower (rain, for example), an earlier session's time can be faster. The bar is full at 3 seconds; larger gaps are cut off.
