We have a point for fastest lap should we not have a point for pole position?
Thoughts anyone

We've discussed this before, and I've been for it for years. My preference is well known on here:
Pole = 3 points
Second = 2 points
Third = 1 point.

Never thought about expanding it more than just first but I like that idea Qualifying is a big part of the race it should count for something

(currently) Would be a No from me, nigh on impossible for anyone other than the top teams to achieve

Hiya, no from me too For the same reason as Forza.

On that logic they should also ditch the 1 point for fastest lap. I understand the reasons for having it, but much of the time the lead drivers can't (or won't) go for it because of all this race management bollocks. Anybody can take a fastest lap these days if they have fresh tyres towards the end of the race. Pole takes more skill than fastest lap (IMO), but I accept that only the top cars are in the running for it. Both ideas are flawed.

So when Ferrari get back to being a top team you may revisit this scenario eh Forza :

I think the idea from Jody is not bad at all.
The problem mentioned by Forza is the whole problem of F1 right now. Be honest; who can take the real points on Sunday? The difference is just to big.
So, points for pole and a more equal playing field, that is what I want (but will not get...).
