From some controversial plays, the FIA decided to put into effect the elimination of this standard for the 2025 season of Formula 1.
The International Automobile Federation (FIA) confirmed the Elimination of the additional point per fast turn in Formula 1 from the 2025 season. This decision is based on some cases related to this rule, through which the pilots took the opportunity to carry out controversial maneuvers.
And, instead of functioning as a sports achievement, this rule – it was introduced to promote emotion and stimulate races – served for the teams to harm each other. In that sense, it was clarified that The fast lap will continue as a statistical milestone, but that will not impact the points table.

The background of the additional point per fast return
A case that resonated with respect to this rule involved Franco Colapint. And is that the Argentine. That at that time he ran to Williamshe had marked The fastest lap and was about to keep the extra unit In the United States Grand Prix. However, Alpine ordered Esteban Ocon returns to the track just to beat that time and prevent Williams from adding the pointwithout the French pilot being able to reach or the top 10. “They are spending rubber to fart. They take care of the planet”Collapint complained at the end of the race.
Another similar situation occurred in the Singapore Grand Prix, when Daniel Ricciardo took the point to Lando Norris, directly affecting the fight for the championship.
