Each F1 race has a three day weekend structure... On Friday, the teams gather data about the conditions of the track and try out new car setups. On Saturday, there is a small practice session before qualifying. In qualifying, the drivers out their fastest laps with cars turned up to give the maximum lap time possible... The more faster your time is, the more ahead you are in the grid. The grid is where all cars line up at the race on Sunday. If a driver qualifies first, then he is on the front of the grid and so on. In the race the drivers try to gain as much positions as possible by using their tricks and skill to gain points.
