Grid differs from qualifying for 4 drivers: Lando Norris qualified 16th, started 19th; Alexander Albon qualified 17th, started 16th; George Russell qualified 18th, started 17th; Robert Kubica qualified 19th, started 18th. 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.
