Grid differs from qualifying for 2 drivers: Kevin Magnussen qualified 16th, started from the pit lane; Romain Grosjean qualified 18th, started from the pit lane. 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.
