Race classification

Grid differs from qualifying for 5 drivers: Daniil Kvyat qualified 14th, started 17th; Romain Grosjean qualified 15th, started 14th; Jean-Éric Vergne qualified 16th, started 15th; Sergio Pérez qualified 17th, started 18th; Pastor Maldonado qualified 18th, started 16th. 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.
