We're back for the very first Grand Prix of the season... but what exactly happens during a race weekend? How does qualifying work? What is pole position? And why did Toto Wolff seem so quick to get rid of Lewis Hamilton? We'll break down the basics of a race weekend format, how we set the grid, and a few moments from Bahrain's media day.  Follow Marissa on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@marissakumari">Tik Tok</a>, <a href="http://instagram.com/marissakumari/">Instagram</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOSYVs9tThZrniE6tYnPt8Q">Youtube</a> (@marissakumari)   Join The Grid Chat: <a href="http://tandonproductions.com/gridchat" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://Tandonproductions.com/gridchat&source=gmail&ust=1709237923452000&usg=AOvVaw0UBiAoj1ZJLTj0sIw6MMdj">Tandonproductions.com/gridchat</a>  Find Grid Chat on <a href="https://heard.fm/share.php?cG9kY2FzdElkPTM3ODc=">Heard.FM and find Marissa in the Community section (username: Marissa)</a> Follow Tandon Productions on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@tandonshows">Tik Tok</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tandonshows">Instagram</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-5jbgDtUsNn3vnI5-Ar4Qw">Youtube</a> (@tandonshows)

Formula 101: How does race weekend work?

Grid Chat is more than a motorsports podcast — it’s a community of likeminded fans who aren’t afraid to ask questions, fan girl over their favorite teams, and spend every weekend watching cars race around a track for hours. Host Marissa Tandon brings her love of motorsports and passion for fangirling unapologetically to the track, with educational segments, guests from motorsports community, hot goss, and race recaps, with a welcoming, judgement free angle for new and old fans alike. As the viewership of motorsports grows and changes, our community should, too. 
Currently following the F1 and F1 Academy season, with additional highlights from other series, like IndyCar and WEC.
