The predicted order sits close to the starting grid, and that is expected. This model has not been shown to beat "everyone finishes where they start". The percentages are what it adds: checked against past races, they come out about right on average.
Grid penalties are only included if they were entered by hand. They are never in the timing data this is built from.
