It was never that the fastest car won. Alain Prost had 33 poles and 51 wins. It's called being a good racer as opposed to being the fastest driver. Eighth place is worth one point more than pole position. That's why they run the race and not just qualifying.



That what you very eloquently exposed is something not many people realize, especially in the car racing world. Its more evindent in motorcycle racing since the vehicle does not play such an important rolo in the results and there are greater performance difference between the racers.
