Only one driver can take pole for a particular Formula One race
A Grid refers to the position on the race track that the racers would start their race with. The person starting first is said to be on Pole Position or No. 1 position. To determine the position in which the drivers would start their race, usually on Saturdays a qualifying event is held. During this, the drivers have to drive as fast as they can around the track for one fast lap and the driver who can set the fastest time would start on Pole. This includes a number of other rules and criterion but in short, the fastest driver during qualifying starts on pole during the race on Sunday.
In a single race, there can only be one driver who starts from pole position. Pole position refers to the 1st place on the starting grid. During the Qualifying sessions, drivers go around the track and set the fastest time possible. The driver who was fastest during qualifying gets the pole position. Timing is usually correct to 1/1000th of a Second and so, there is absolutely no way two drivers can finish with the same time. So, only one driver starts from Pole Position.
There are a total of 11 teams in the 2013 formula one season. Each team can field 2 race cars per race which means 2 drivers per race. So, a bare minimum of 22 drivers will drive in the 2013 formula one season. If any driver is injured or replaced mid-season then, the number might be even more. As of now the list of 2 drivers per team is published and can be found in Wikipedia or on the internet.
