Grid differs from qualifying for 4 drivers: Sergio Pérez qualified 3rd, started 6th; Lando Norris qualified 4th, started 3rd; Charles Leclerc qualified 5th, started 4th; Oscar Piastri qualified 6th, started 5th. 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.
