I have mixed feelings here.
Once upon a time I would dismiss it all outright for being a gimmick. However, I sort of like the idea of appreciating efforts througout the weekend. For example, topping the time sheets for all three qualifying rounds seems like a respectable feat of its own, so in a way I would like to see recognition for that, but maybe just a point. The important thing should always be the race by far. I don't know about leading a lap of the race, though. I could be in third and lead a lap just because the first two guys pitted a lap before me.
