F1 has revealed why it will no longer reward the driver who sets the fastest lap inside the top 10 with a bonus point for the 2025 season.

fastest lap outside the top 10 doesn’t bother me but what I think this does is eliminate the team orders of stopping someone (for example someone like oh I don’t know, perez) who’s on a heater stealing the point away from their teammate (like, dunno just pulling a name, verstappen) when the wdc is still being contested.
it’s being killed because team orders rules everything in f1 and drivers can’t just drive hard (without wrecking the other car).
Point for fastest lap for any driver in the race would have been the easiest solution. Gives drivers lower in the field a chance for a point and could make both ends of the table exciting come the end of the season.
Yeah. Could have simply made it a point for fastest lap period, no matter if you’re in the top 10 or outside of it.
