Grid differs from qualifying for 8 drivers: Daniel Ricciardo qualified 10th, started from the pit lane; Sergio Pérez qualified 11th, started 10th; Nico Hülkenberg qualified 12th, started 11th; Fernando Alonso qualified 13th, started 12th; Esteban Ocon qualified 14th, started 13th; Marcus Ericsson qualified 15th, started 14th; Lance Stroll qualified 19th, started 20th; Jolyon Palmer 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.
