A few minor points

Hi Bigdon128. Thanks for your contributions. A few minor points to note:

• In a Formula One context, "Ferrari" should be linked to Scuderia Ferrari rather than Ferrari, i.e. the links should be written as Ferrari.
• The past tense of "lead" is "led", e.g. to say "Red Bull were leading the Championship", it's "Red Bull led the Championship"
• It's "McLaren and Ferrari were second and third in the Championship respectively", not "respectfully".
• But apart from that, keep up the good work. Regards. DH85868993 (talk) 22:38, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

F1 results table updates

Hi Bigdon128. When updating F1 results tables after a race, please remember to also update the points total (and championship position if necessary). Thanks. DH85868993 (talk) 13:11, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

1967 German Grand Prix

You do know that Denny Hulme and Chris Amon are not Australians? Please do not make stuff up, be sure of what you are adding to a story prior to adding. --Falcadore (talk) 02:26, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

Re:Infobox problem

Hi Bigdon. User:DH85868993 has already fixed the problem, which was that you had missed out an end square bracket from one of the wikilinks within the infobox. Infoboxes are often fiddly and complex things to edit, so an easy mistake to make!--Midgrid(talk) 14:45, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

Top notch!

Many thanks for reverting that vandalism on my userpage; two minutes...someone must have their finger on their pulse! ;) On an aside, apologies if I had been a bit clinical on any of your additions to the relevant Grand Prix articles; we were all newcomers to the website at one point, and I may have been a bit critical of some of the additions. The edits are getting to a high standard now! But yeah, thanks! Craig(talk) 01:02, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

I think the bot just missed you out...to say we've not had that problem before would be lying; the bots are a bit "on the back-burner" when it comes to delivery. Craig(talk) 01:16, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification

Hi, this message is to let you know about disambiguation links you've recently created. A link to a disambiguation page is almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. For more information, see the FAQ or drop a line at the DPL WikiProject.

Any suggestions for improving this automated tool are welcome. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 18:37, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Drivers' names

Hi Bigdon128. Thanks for your contributions. However, can you please use the correct accents when writing "Räikkönen" and "Häkkinen"? It saves someone else having to go along and fix them up afterwards. Also, please note that "Barrichello" has two 'r's. Thanks. DH85868993 (talk) 02:51, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Article of the month – 2011 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix The 2011 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix (formally the Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix) was the eighteenth and penultimate round of the 2011 Formula One season. It was held on 13 November 2011 at the Yas Marina Circuit on Yas Island, a man-made island on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. It was the third running of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. As is customary with the race, it was the only twilight Grand Prix of the 2011 Formula One season, with a start time of 17:00 local time. The race was won by McLaren's Lewis Hamilton. Second was Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, with Jenson Button coming third in the other McLaren. Sebastian Vettel, in a Red Bull-Renault, had been in pole position, but retired after a puncture in the first lap, near the second corner, which was his first retirement since the 2010 Korean Grand Prix, where he encountered a problem, with his engine. As a result, this prevented him from equalling Michael Schumacher's record of 13 wins in one season, but Vettel did equal Nigel Mansell's 1992 record of 14 pole positions in one season. This was also the first race of 2011 in which neither Red Bull finished on the podium, as Vettel's team-mate Mark Webber finished fourth. (More...)

Article of the month – Hispania F110, current Good Article nominee The Hispania F110 is a Formula One motor racing car designed and built by Dallara for Hispania Racing, for the 2010 season. It was driven by Karun Chandhok, Bruno Senna, Christian Klien and Sakon Yamamoto and was unveiled in Murcia, Spain, on 4 March 2010. The car used a Cosworth engine throughout the course of the 2010 season, of which it competed in every race with two of the four drivers who raced it. The team scored no points with the car during the season, and gained a highest result of fourteenth place. This was scored by both Chandhok and Senna, and meant that the team were placed eleventh and second-last in the 2010 World Constructors' Championship standings. The car gained no title sponsor from the team, and the car was never developed. Hispania's successor for their 2011 season campaign, the F111, was largely based upon the F110. (More...)

Hispania F110

Hi there Bigdon. I intend to review Hispania F110, but was wondering if you could first address the comments left by User:4u1e here? At a glance the prose and sourcing appear to be of Good Article quality, but unfortunately I agree that the article needs to go into more detail on the technical side, per criteria 3a. —WFC— 18:57, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Article of the month – 2011 Japanese Grand Prix, failed Good Article nominee The 2011 Japanese Grand Prix (formally the XXXVII Japanese Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race that was held on 9 October 2011 at the Suzuka Circuit in Suzuka, Japan. It was the fifteenth round of the 2011 Formula One season, and the thirty-eighth time the Japanese Grand Prix had been held. The race, contested over 53 laps, was won by McLaren's Jenson Button, after he started from second on the grid. Fernando Alonso finished in second place for Scuderia Ferrari, and Sebastian Vettel completed the podium, with third, for Red Bull Racing. Vettel had started the race in pole position alongside Button, whom he had marginally outqualified. The two drivers were the only two within mathematical contention for the title. Button attempted to overtake Vettel at the start of the race, yet was pressured towards the grass by Vettel which resulted in him losing second place to Lewis Hamilton (who had started in third). Vettel was passed by Button in the second pit-stop phase, and was then passed by Alonso in the third. Hamilton slipped back from second to fifth, predominantly in the pit-stops; debris from a collision between himself and Felipe Massa caused a safety car period in the race. The second Red Bull of Mark Webber finished in fourth position. As a consequence of the race, Vettel secured the World Drivers' Championship for the second year in succession, having only required one point prior to the weekend to be declared World Champion. Button remained in second place on the standings after his victory, extending the gap over third-placed Alonso to eight points. In the World Constructors' Championship, Red Bull's championship lead over McLaren was cut to 130 points, with Ferrari a further 96 points behind in third position. (More...)

Hi Bigdon128. FYI, "debut" can be spelled either with or without the accent, so it's probably not worth updating an article just to make that change. Regards. DH85868993 (talk) 02:18, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Article of the month – 2012 Bahrain Grand Prix The 2012 Bahrain Grand Prix (formally known as the 2012 Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on 22 April 2012 at the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir, Bahrain. It was the first time Formula One returned to Bahrain after the 2011 race was cancelled due to ongoing anti-government protests. The race, the eighth running of the Bahrain Grand Prix, was contested over 57 laps and was the fourth round of the 2012 Formula One season. Sebastian Vettel started the race from pole position, leading into the first corner and for the majority of the race en route to victory. He was not without pressure though, as the Lotus of Kimi Räikkönen climbed the field, having started in eleventh place, and challenged for the lead before finishing second. Räikkönen's team-mate Romain Grosjean took the first podium finish of his career by finishing third, after having a strong start and quickly moving into second place by overtaking Lewis Hamilton and Mark Webber. Räikkönen passed Grosjean for second place roughly half-way through the race, being on a better tyre strategy. Hamilton started on the front row, but pitstop errors and degrading tyres left him eighth; his McLaren teammate, Jenson Button, retired with two laps remaining. As a consequence of the race, Sebastian Vettel took the lead in the Drivers' Championship from Lewis Hamilton. He became the fourth driver to top the standings from four races, and also the fourth race winner. Hamilton remained second, four points behind Vettel, whilst Webber jumped in front of Button to move into third with his fourth consecutive fourth place. Webber was just one point behind Hamilton, and Button was only five points behind him; Nico Rosberg was fifth. The Constructors' Championship was now lead by Red Bull, who also took the lead from McLaren (who were now nine points behind them). Lotus F1 moved up from sixth to third in the standings after their first podium. Ferrari fell to fourth whilst Mercedes remained fifth. The race's opponents described the decision to hold the race despite ongoing protests and violence as one of the most controversial Grands Prix in the sport's sixty-year history. (More...)

2012 Canadian Grand Prix

Hey Bigdon,

I noticed that you expanded the 2012 Canadian Grand Prix article out from a redirect to the basic template and article lead. As the race isn't scheduled to take place for another month, this is probably a little bit too soon to be making the articles. We've generally only been creating articles for upcoming races once the previous race has been run, unless there is information about it available (like the Monaco circuit changes). Normally we wouldn't have made the article until after Monaco, but I found some stuff about the student protesters in Quebec threatening to shut down the race, so there's no need to revert it back.

Article of the month – 2012 Formula One season, current peer review The 2012 Formula One season is the 63rd FIA Formula One season. The season started in Australia on 18 March and will end in Brazil on 25 November. It is being contested over twenty races – the most races in a season in the sport's history – and will see the return of the United States Grand Prix, which will be held at the Circuit of the Americas, a purpose-built circuit in Austin, Texas. After being cancelled in 2011 due to civil protests, the Bahrain Grand Prix returned to the calendar. In addition to having the greatest number of races in a championship year, the 2012 season broke several records. Six current and former World Drivers' Champions — Sebastian Vettel, Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Räikkönen, Fernando Alonso and Michael Schumacher — started the season, breaking the record of five established in 1970. The 2012 season was also the first time that the first six championship races of a season were won by six different drivers. (More...)
