Grid differs from qualifying for 6 drivers: Daniel Ricciardo qualified 15th, started 20th; Esteban Ocon qualified 16th, started 15th; Pierre Gasly qualified 17th, started 16th; Brendon Hartley qualified 18th, started 17th; Lance Stroll qualified 19th, started 18th; Stoffel Vandoorne 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.
