Grid differs from qualifying for 6 drivers: Pierre Gasly qualified 12th, started 15th; Nico Hülkenberg qualified 13th, started 12th; Oliver Bearman qualified 14th, started 13th; Carlos Sainz qualified 15th, started 14th; Lance Stroll qualified 21st, started 22nd; Fernando Alonso 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.
