Grid differs from qualifying for 8 drivers: Daniel Ricciardo qualified 16th, started 21st; Jean-Éric Vergne qualified 17th, started 16th; Bruno Senna qualified 18th, started 17th; Vitaly Petrov qualified 19th, started 18th; Heikki Kovalainen qualified 20th, started 19th; Charles Pic qualified 21st, started 24th; Timo Glock qualified 22nd, started 20th; Pedro de la Rosa qualified 23rd, started 22nd. 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.
