Grid differs from qualifying for 5 drivers: Alexander Albon qualified 18th, started 22nd; Fernando Alonso qualified 19th, started 18th; Valtteri Bottas qualified 20th, started 19th; Lance Stroll qualified 21st, started 20th; Sergio Pérez qualified 22nd, started 21st. 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.
