Fastest lap

@SSSB: I wanted to mean 2018, not 2019. 2019 was actually again when +1 point for fastest lap was given. Island92 (talk) 18:35, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

Sure, that is how it was done before the FL point was awarded. But why go back to it. What is wrong with continuing to include the fl in the classification table? Is there an actually reason beyond "we never used to do it like that"? Because that is not a reason I will accept. SSSB (talk) 20:48, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

I find it insignificant to display in the race classification table the fastest lap owner, considering the bonus point is no longer given (that how things were made up until 2018, indeed). Island92 (talk) 21:17, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

I think that if the fastest lap setter is significant enough to be put in the infobox, and the infobox at Bahrain Grand Prix, and a dedicated column at 2025 Formula One World Championship#Grands Prix, and to be included in all the results matrixes, and if the achievement is significant enough for an article dedicated to those who have achieved it, then it must also be significant enough for one small row at the bottom of the classification table. Yes, the FL point may no longer be given, but that hasn't stopped us mentioning who got the fastest lap in all these other places, so why stop here? SSSB (talk) 08:30, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

Because I see no connection with 2018. Island92 (talk) 10:36, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

Do you have a reason beyond "we didn't do this in 2018?" What we did in 2018 is not relevant (unless you can point me towards an old discussion where a consensus against this was formed). Because that's not a reason not to start doing it now (and gradually adding it into the pre 2018 articles). SSSB (talk) 11:03, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

I agree with SSSB here; yes, the fastest lap no longer gives one point, but in my opinion it's still important, just for information. The Seal F1 (talk) 11:36, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

The same what already says the infobox. There it is a ripetition. Island92 (talk) 17:06, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

Most of the infobox is repeated. The infobox is supposed to contain repition of the content in the rest of the article. That is its purpose. From Wikipedia:INFOBOX: "an article should remain complete with its infobox ignored." i.e. all the information in the infobox should be repeated within the article. So you have actually provided a reason why FL should be in the classification table. SSSB (talk) 22:45, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
