Grid differs from qualifying for 11 drivers: Yuki Tsunoda qualified 9th, started 17th; Lando Norris qualified 10th, started 18th; Sebastian Vettel qualified 11th, started 9th; Kimi Räikkönen qualified 12th, started 10th; George Russell qualified 13th, started 16th; Antonio Giovinazzi qualified 14th, started 11th; Esteban Ocon qualified 15th, started 19th; Fernando Alonso qualified 16th, started 12th; Nicholas Latifi qualified 17th, started 13th; Mick Schumacher qualified 18th, started 14th; Nikita Mazepin qualified 19th, started 15th. 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.
