Grid differs from qualifying for 4 drivers: Nico Rosberg qualified 19th, started 21st; Jarno Trulli qualified 20th, started 22nd; Vitantonio Liuzzi qualified 21st, started 20th; Franck Montagny qualified 22nd, 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.

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.
