I don't want to get into a completely petty discussion with you guys and I don't completely disagree with what you're saying.
Thing is, it's not our opinions that can 'settle' it, it's Freddies.
Don't get me wrong, I bet he's gutted he didn't win the GP, I would be, especially after a 6 ride maximum. At the time it wouldn't have been nice, however after the adrenaline has worn off and he thinks about it, he's scored more than Holta who's won it has, so some consolation there.
Had him and Holta been the other way around, Lindgren would have been over the moon he'd won the GP, but then, after the adrenaline had worn off he'd realise that someone below him had actually scored more and be, to a degree, rather disappointed. Again, I know I would be.
I suppose it depends on what Freddies goal was at the start of the season. To win a Gp? To make the Top 8? If it was to win a GP on this occasion he's failed. If it was to make the top 8, he's contributed more towards that than Holta did.
