There has arisin the question as to Ralph Firman's nationality. In the quick research I've done (google assisted) I've seen conflicting information, such as F1 and GrandPrix.com listing him as British, but PitPass listing him as Irish. What looks most convincing is 4mula1.ro and various forums listing him as having dual citizenship, his dad British, and his mom Irish. The main question still is: What did he race as? If anyone knows if it is possible to look up the driving license records, that would be the answer, but if not, what nationality is Firman, and how should it be listed and represented? - slowpokeiv 02:19, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
This is quite simple. Firman as born in Norwich, which is in the United Kingdom. Therefore he is British. Unless he has renounced British citizenship, then he is still British to this day. In order to drive for another country, he presumably has to fulfil requirements to meet citizenship requirements of that country, although I'm not sure a person has to actually formally become a national of that country - in this case, the Republic of Ireland. If he has, then he has dual nationality. This could be represented by using the flags of both countries.
The answer to the question "Irish or British?" is probably, simply, yes. -- 81.135.29.171 ( talk) 07:47, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Ralph Firman. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{

to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{
