Grid differs from qualifying for 5 drivers: Kimi Räikkönen qualified 15th, started 19th; Fernando Alonso qualified 16th, started 18th; Felipe Nasr qualified 17th, started 15th; Alexander Rossi qualified 18th, started 16th; Will Stevens qualified 19th, started 17th. 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.
