Race classification

Grid differs from qualifying for 2 drivers: Lance Stroll qualified 10th, started from the pit lane; Sebastian Vettel qualified 13th, 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.
