Race classification

Grid differs from qualifying for 2 drivers: Jacques Villeneuve qualified 5th, started 14th; Jarno Trulli qualified 14th, started 5th. 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.
