Is this true? I don't recall points being awarded for either the fastest lap or the pole position in my lifetime.
Something tells me that points have never been awarded for pole, and were last awarded for the fastest lap either in 1959 or 1960. I think I remember reading that Jack Brabham had been awarded a point for the fastest lap in a championship year and 1966 seems too late.

Excellent case of brain fade on my part, and I stand corrected.

But I maintain that records are good to have, but title standings and championships are the ones that really matter.
