Grid differs from qualifying for 8 drivers: Charles Leclerc qualified 2nd, started from the pit lane; George Russell qualified 6th, started 8th; Lando Norris qualified 7th, started 6th; Carlos Sainz qualified 8th, started 7th; Esteban Ocon qualified 12th, started 14th; Pierre Gasly qualified 13th, started 15th; Kevin Magnussen qualified 14th, started 12th; Alexander Albon qualified 15th, started 13th. 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.
