Before anyone races, they are required to qualify. The driver that usually qualifies quicker than their teammate is considered the quicker driver. The driver in front of another driver has an advantage at the start. If it is so unimportant to you why did you respond, and in a very amateurish disrepectful way I might add, to my post? In future, if you do post, we will not expect you to make any comment on qualifying either, seeing that it is irrelevant to you. Lastly, maybe you have witnessed just how excited the pole winning driver is compared to his teammate who qualifies second. Contrary to your view, to those who love motor racing including the racing teams and the drivers, qualifying is indeed extremely important for its own sake and the race.
