Race classification

Grid differs from qualifying for 6 drivers: Max Verstappen qualified 2nd, started 7th; Valtteri Bottas qualified 3rd, started 6th; Pierre Gasly qualified 4th, started 2nd; Fernando Alonso qualified 5th, started 3rd; Lando Norris qualified 6th, started 4th; Carlos Sainz qualified 7th, started 5th. 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.

Qualifying

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.
