Grid differs from qualifying for 6 drivers: Lewis Hamilton qualified 4th, started 9th; Daniel Ricciardo qualified 5th, started 4th; Pierre Gasly qualified 6th, started 5th; Kevin Magnussen qualified 7th, started 6th; Nico Hülkenberg qualified 8th, started 7th; Esteban Ocon qualified 9th, started 8th. 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.
