Grid differs from qualifying for 4 drivers: Sebastian Vettel qualified 8th, started 11th; George Russell qualified 9th, started 8th; Lance Stroll qualified 10th, started 9th; Carlos Sainz qualified 11th, started 10th. 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.
