Race classification

Grid differs from qualifying for 6 drivers: Takuma Sato qualified 14th, started 20th; Tiago Monteiro qualified 15th, started 14th; Christijan Albers qualified 16th, started 15th; Jacques Villeneuve qualified 18th, started 16th; Narain Karthikeyan qualified 19th, started 18th; Michael Schumacher qualified 20th, started 19th. 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.
