Race classification

Grid differs from qualifying for 6 drivers: Valtteri Bottas qualified 15th, started 20th; Sergio Pérez qualified 16th, started 15th; Yuki Tsunoda qualified 17th, started 16th; Guanyu Zhou qualified 18th, started 17th; Nyck de Vries qualified 19th, started 18th; Kevin Magnussen qualified 20th, started 19th. 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.
