tuo posted:Please no points for pole or fastest lap in at least the last two races. There's nothing worse than going to a race knowing that the championship might be - actually - decided during qualifying or before the checkered flag. If that happens maybe not do it at all. I think it would make things interesting.

I mean if we get to that part of the season and it's that close it means Ferrari haven't spectacularly poo poo the bed and Lewis hasn't hosed off into the sunset, so it would have been an interesting season.

It's most of the time a hypothetical situatiuation, I guess. Similar to the stupid "double points on last race"-stuff, which is bad, but not as bad. I went to a season finisher last year for a series that really, really was interesting. A driver managed to win six races in a row, using the car of a constructor who was dead last (and all other drivers of the same manufacturer were basically out of the championship due to the car beeing poo poo). The championship was mostly over three race weekends before the finisher, but somehow the team of said driver found a setup that made him the best. He won six races, won the seventh race on saturday of the last race weekend, but the championship could have been decided if he doesn't take pole on qualy for sunday (which he also won). He lost the championship during the race (while still winning the race, because the other guy got third or whatever), but the whole thing could have been decided in the morning. I don't like that. Do it for moneys. Give the team a certain amount of money for fastest lap (which they can give in parts to the driver) and stuff, but please don't give championship points for it, or at least not during the last couple of races where a season is not decided unless it has an ultra-dominant team. tl;dr:

It's not going to change anything at all in the title race. They're doing it because the small teams will bolt on a set of soft tires and go nuts at the end in hopes of moving from 8th to 7th in the WCC and getting a couple million more in prize money.

Isn't this pretty much for Kimi who drives half the race asleep (or having a poo poo lol epic) then wakes up 3/4ths through and starts setting fastest laps in 9th or we

It's only awared for top 10, though. And yeah, it will be awesome on television, watching the top ten starting grid unlocking their engine modes after a one hour progression. Unless they award like five points, it won't improve the race for viewers (which is what they are after) because viewers won't even understand why one of the drivers suddenly got fastest lap, and then the other, during the last three laps of a boring race. It might be interesting for the drivers themselves, but I guess it will be terrible to televise/explain what currently happens apart from shouting into the mic that that's a purple sector (which only concerns nerds like us). Remember they had the pretty cool realtime sector graphic stuff, which told you on every turn how the driver either increased or hosed up, and dropped that because commenters spent more time explaining that poo poo to people who don't care instead of commenting the quali? It'll be the very same with the points for fastest lap during the last three laps of the race. Every driver who has to defend won't have a chance at the points. Drivers who have to make an overtake will struggle to make the points (Ricciardo managed it once), drivers having no pressure on them from the back might take a go for it, and it will be suuuuper interesting. That's my meltdown over such a lovely idea

Can't wait for Merc to have bottas back up the whole field, so Lewis can pit on the penultimate lap for [softest compound] and take 26 points per win.

It's a bizarre thinking that not announcing it (even if everyone else knows) wont hurt morale as much as if you did. In fact, it has the opposite effect and insults the intelligence of the employees.

Point for fastest lap has all the hallmarks of a classic F1 idea that is thrown out there and then rescinded pretty quickly. It's almost like Bernie's back!

It's a bizarre thinking that not announcing it (even if everyone else knows) wont hurt morale as much as if you did. someone compared it to game development earlier and it sounds pretty similar to my experience there i worked at a ~startup~ where i assumed being there from the start guaranteed safety and a senior position as we grew. once the product was launched that turned out not to be the case and people who i'd worked with since day one just started disappearing without a word and management would only say they'd left if directly asked. it felt really strange, what you said was exactly right - i felt it insulted my intelligence. they also acted like they were never there to begin with, which just hurt my morale even more and made me feel like my contributions wouldn't matter if i left. eventually when it came my time to leave too i was so distraught and bitter that i too just cleared my poo poo and left without a word and never looked back. they didn't announce it until they were forced to when i talked about it months later it was a weird place to work
