Grid differs from qualifying for 10 drivers: Nico Hülkenberg qualified 7th, started 8th; Valtteri Bottas qualified 8th, started 7th; Carlos Sainz qualified 13th, started 15th; Fernando Alonso qualified 14th, started 13th; Romain Grosjean qualified 15th, started 20th; Jolyon Palmer qualified 16th, started 14th; Kevin Magnussen qualified 17th, started 16th; Pascal Wehrlein qualified 18th, started 17th; Daniil Kvyat qualified 19th, started 18th; Rio Haryanto qualified 20th, started 19th. 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.
