Grid differs from qualifying for 4 drivers: Lewis Hamilton qualified 16th, started 19th; Nick Heidfeld qualified 17th, started 16th; Robert Kubica qualified 18th, started 17th; Jarno Trulli qualified 19th, 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.

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.
