It is because, when Formula One first started, so that they could see who was in the lead, they connected a mirror to a pole, so they see who was in the lead. this lead to the saying "pole position"

In motor sports, the pole position means that the driver ran the fastest time during qualifying. As a result, the driver will be placed in the very front of the field at the start of the race.

Pole position is the first (front) position on the starting grid. The driver with the fastest qualifying lap gets to start in pole position.
