The reaction to F1's dropping of the fastest lap bonus point for 2025 has been met with mixed reactions by drivers.

Some, like Carlos Sainz and George Russell couldn't wait to see the back of it, whilst Lando Norris and Sergio Perez mounted strong defences of the reward to driver in the top 10 at the end of a race.

But in the latest RacingNews365 poll, we want to know your thoughts if F1 was correct to ditch the extra point, which was re-introduced in 2019.
