<span class="mw-page-title-main">Pole position</span> First position on a motor-racing starting grid

In a motorsports race, the pole position is usually the best and "statistically the most advantageous" starting position on the track. The pole position is usually earned by the driver with the best qualifying times in the trials before the race, although penalties may award it to the second fastest driver, as the pole position is statistically awarded to the driver starting in first position. The number-one qualifying driver is also referred to as the pole-sitter. The pole position starts the race "at the front of the starting grid. This provides the driver in the pole position the privilege of starting ahead of all the other drivers".

A Formula One Grand Prix is an auto racing event which takes place over three days, with a series of practice and qualifying sessions prior to the race on Sunday.
