14 Grands Prix without a point for the fastest lap, this illustrates the fact that the lightweight single-seater that put on new tires at the end of the GP was not intrinsically the fastest during the race. Might as well give a point to the one who takes pole position, pole position really crowning the fastest driver during this ultimate exercise in precision, concentration and driving!
