A valid super license is a prerequisite that allows the license holder to join in the Formula One Grands Prix. 

Formula One cars can race at high speeds that can be up to 360 km/hr. The engines also rev up to a formula imposed limit of about 18,000 rpm. The cars can pull an excess of 5g on various corners. The entire performance of race cars greatly depends on the electronics, suspension, tires and aerodynamics.

Once the practice session is done, a qualifying session is held.  Qualifying sessions are used to determine the positions on the starting grid  .  The actual race itself always begins with a warm up lap  .

The warm up lap is meant  to check the status of both the car and also the track  . I It also allows the tyres to heat up which is essential for the traction required  . It will also give the pit crews ample time to clear themselves and get their equipment away from the grid. It will be followed up by the assembly of cars on the starting grid in the order of their qualification. This lap is called the formation lap. This will let cars lap in formation with no overtaking.
