Grid differs from qualifying for 11 drivers: Max Verstappen qualified 1st, started 6th; Charles Leclerc qualified 2nd, started 1st; Sergio Pérez qualified 3rd, started 2nd; Lewis Hamilton qualified 4th, started 3rd; Carlos Sainz qualified 5th, started 4th; Oscar Piastri qualified 6th, started 5th; Kevin Magnussen qualified 13th, started 16th; Valtteri Bottas qualified 14th, started 13th; Esteban Ocon qualified 15th, started 14th; Alexander Albon qualified 16th, started 15th; Nico Hülkenberg qualified 20th, 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.

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.
