Grid differs from qualifying for 8 drivers: Valtteri Bottas qualified 11th, started 16th; Fernando Alonso qualified 12th, started 11th; Jenson Button qualified 13th, started 12th; Jolyon Palmer qualified 14th, started 13th; Kevin Magnussen qualified 15th, started 14th; Marcus Ericsson qualified 16th, started 15th; Rio Haryanto qualified 21st, started 22nd; Pascal Wehrlein qualified 22nd, started 21st. 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.
