Qualifying performance has long been the gold standard of the outright speed of a Formula 1 driver. The moniker 'fastest' has carried weight, even at times when speed doesn't translate into victory in the race.
The ban on refuelling ahead of last season brought to an end the era of drivers battling for pole position carrying the fuel load with which they would start the race. This has returned low-fuel one-lap specials to the forefront of F1, as has been the case for most of the history of the world championship.
