Article of the month - 2008 Chinese Grand Prix, new
Good Article
![]() The 2008 Chinese Grand Prix (formally the V Sinopec Chinese Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on October 19, 2008 at the Shanghai International Circuit, Shanghai, China. It was the 17th and penultimate race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 56 laps, was won by Lewis Hamilton for the McLaren team after starting from pole position. Ferrari driver Felipe Massa finished second, and Kimi Räikkönen was third in the other Ferrari. Hamilton, the eventual Drivers' Champion, led the Championship going into the race, and started from pole position alongside Räikkönen. Second in the Drivers' Championship, Massa began from third, next to Fernando Alonso of Renault. The first three drivers retained their positions into the first corner, but Alonso was passed by Hamilton's McLaren teammate Heikki Kovalainen. However, Alonso was able to regain the place midway through the first lap. Over the course of the race, Hamilton extended a considerable lead over the two Ferraris. Massa passed Räikkönen with seven laps remaining, to improve his chances of surpassing Hamilton's points tally at the final race in Brazil. The result extended Ferrari's lead over McLaren in the Constructors' Championship from seven to 11 points. Third-placed in the Drivers' Championship, Robert Kubica's sixth place at the Grand Prix eliminated his hopes of winning the Championship, and reduced his lead over fourth-placed Räikkönen to six points.

Hi, Apterygial.
First, thanks very much for your PR. I have done all of the stuff you and AlexJ suggested apart from the post-race (I'll probably do that tomorrow, if not the next day!).
I am now ready for some more things to fix if you would like to tell me them. Thanks,

I agree with your sentiment, and I was arguing to leave it alone as well. The thing is, when someone comes in and changes it, arguing in an aggressive fashion, you end up in a ridiculous argument. I maintain that any argument with Eightball is a ridiculous argument, but I'll not just walk away and let him make unencyclopedic edits. I'll assume you're joking about the president bit... enjoy the season :) Bretonbanquet ( talk) 22:58, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
I came here to tell you I wouldn't edit it again because you asked nicely and that counts for something. I nearly changed my mind because of the smugness of the above comment, but be proud that your tact outweighed it. The thing is, someone who argues for not changing the numbers clearly does not know anything about F1, because it implies that Ferrari is taking a chassis, fitting it with Raikkonen's seat, his name on the side, and then deliberately giving it the wrong number. And then I get people telling me I'm being unencyclopedic. Whatever, at some point you have to realize that people already view everything they read on Wikipedia with a healthy dose of skepticism, a few more errors can't hurt...right? Enjoy the season.

As other cars made their pit stops, Hamilton regained the lead on lap 22. On lap 36 Timo Glock crashed, and the race was neutralized by the deployment of the safety car. Hamilton, on a two-stop strategy, did not stop to get more fuel during this period, while all the cars around him did. Thus when he did eventually stop on lap 50, he rejoined the race in fifth. In the closing stages of the race, Hamilton overtook first his team-mate Heikki Kovalainen, then Massa, and finally Piquet, to take the lead again on lap 60, which he maintained to win the race. The victory was Hamilton's second consecutive win, having won the preceding British Grand Prix at Silverstone. The win put him ahead of his two main rivals in the Drivers' Championship, Kimi Räikkönen (who finished sixth) and Massa of Ferrari, who were on equal points with him before the race. After the race he was four points ahead of Räikkönen, and seven ahead of Massa. In the Constructors' Championship, McLaren drew closer to the two teams ahead of them, BMW Sauber and Ferrari. Ferrari still led by 15 points from McLaren, and 12 from BMW, whose drivers – Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica – finished fourth and seventh respectively.

Hi Apterygial, In the references section of the 2008 Turkish Grand Prix, the article that I am now working on, there is some Autosport thing called "Massa Attack", cited as a publication. I can't read it, as you have to be subscribed to Autosport to read it. It is also not actually cited in the article. So, what do I do with it? Darth Newdar (talk) 20:03, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

I've taken a look at the article, made some minor edits, and left some suggestions on the talk page. Good luck with progressing it to GA/FA status!
I've also started work on expanding the Renault R28 article in my sandbox, so expect some more MII developments soon. ;) -- Diniz (talk) 17:14, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
Don't know if you watch this page, but some good quality images are now available from recent Malaysian GP. Could be a good addition. Leave Sleaves 20:29, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
1. I have no problem with waiting, if you think it would hinder the FPOC process. 2. Of course you can; I don't think I'm going to be able to do it any time soon anyway. Any help you need, just ask. Cdhaptomos talk– contribs 16:03, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
Just added one for Chinese GP. Feel free to add alternates if you can think of better ones. Also couple of suggestions added for portal. Do review them when you have the chance. Leave Sleaves 16:15, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi Apterygial, In the references section of the 2008 Turkish Grand Prix, the article that I am now working on, there is some Autosport thing called "Massa Attack", cited as a publication. I can't read it, as you have to be subscribed to Autosport to read it. It is also not actually cited in the article. So, what do I do with it? Darth Newdar (talk) 20:03, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
