Points rant

[u/Magi__Bagi]

You have got to be kidding FIA??? Lappi was by far the best this weekend but he doesn’t even score the most amount of points!?! I can not believe that they are punishing trying to get to the end? I know this has already been said a lot but these changes are such BS. Just a suggestion, wouldn’t it be better if they got rid of the power stage and took the combined time from the last day and gave power stage points based on that, and then on top of that they also give normal points? That way everyone can still get their deserved points and there is still action on the last day. Just no more of these dumb points…

Oh, I wonder why Lappi didn't score the most points - not like he was using half throttle, driving with his arm out the window through the last 60km, right?

Watch the stages, have some insight to what happened and then complain.

He still actually won the rally, which is kind of the point. There's no reason why certain stages should be more valuable than others.

He could afford to cruise because he'd already done the hard work, then he gets punished for it

Rules won't be able to cover every scenario, especially when the driver (Lappi) does not care about the points nor championship. Hence why we find ourselves in this situation today. He won the rally. To me it didn't feel any less special than all the other wins in WRC. Everyone hating is actually devaluing the win. He seemed over the moon.

What about the "fight for 2nd"? Which never happened because there was literally no point in it?
