Race classification

Grid differs from qualifying for 3 drivers: Nick Heidfeld qualified 17th, started 20th; Giorgio Pantano qualified 18th, started 17th; Gianmaria Bruni qualified 20th, started 18th. 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.
