Thanks for the correction you made to the Hamilton reference. I noticed I had done something was wrong but couldn't work out what! Thanks again :) Schumi 555 15:24, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

2008 German Grand Prix, current Good Article Candidate.
The 2008 German Grand Prix (formally the LXVIII Großer Preis Santander von Deutschland) was a Formula One motor race held on July 20, 2008 at the Hockenheimring, Hockenheim, Germany. It was the 10th race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 67 laps, was won by Lewis Hamilton for the McLaren team after starting from pole position. Nelson Piquet, Jr. finished second in a Renault car, with Felipe Massa third in a Ferrari. Hamilton maintained his startline advantage and led until he made his first pit stop on lap 18. 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.

Help needed! I'm busy rearranging the 2008 BTCC Table here as I said that I would. However, I've hit a stumbling block at BTC Racing, trying to show that Stockton and Oliver used the Lexus and the SEAT, while Howell only used the SEAT. If you know how to sort this out, can you enter the BTC part of the table on my talk page. Thanks Petera93 ( talk) 11:50, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the effort. I'll check the grid on the motogp.com site (there's a pdf on it) and correct the grid. Asendoh ( talk) 20:56, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi Cs-wolves. Do you know about the AWB editing tool? I think it could possibly save you a lot of time in replacing the links to Lola Racing Cars. Although I have noticed that as you are replacing the Lola links, you are also making many other useful changes to the articles, so feel free to continue doing what you are doing. Regards.

2008 Bahrain Grand Prix, new
Good Article
The 2008 Bahrain Grand Prix (formally the V Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on April 6, 2008 at the Bahrain International Circuit, in Sakhir, Bahrain. It was the third race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 57 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team. Kimi Räikkönen was second in the other Ferrari, and BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica was third. The race began with Kubica in pole position alongside Massa; Lewis Hamilton, the eventual Drivers' Champion, started from third, alongside Räikkönen. Kubica was passed by Massa into the first corner, and then by Räikkönen on the third lap. The Ferraris dominated at the front of the race, leading to their one-two finish. Hamilton had a slow start after almost stalling on the grid, and dropped back to ninth. The McLaren driver ran into the back of Fernando Alonso's Renault a lap later, breaking off the McLaren's front wing and dropping Hamilton to the back of the field. Kubica's strong finish promoted BMW Sauber to the lead in the Constructors' Championship, after BMW driver Nick Heidfeld finished fourth. Ferrari and McLaren trailed, one and two points behind, respectively. Räikkönen took the lead in the Drivers' Championship, with 19 points, three points ahead of Heidfeld and five ahead of Hamilton, Kubica and Kovalainen, with 15 races remaining in the season.

The Working Wikipedian's Barnstar | |
for ploughing through all those Grand Prix race articles, adding much-needed infoboxes. Great work :) Bretonbanquet ( talk) 21:38, 6 May 2009 (UTC) |
reply to User talk:Falcadore#Motorsport in 2009 template I think to get some movement on this we'd have to bring it up on the Wikiproject page. -- Falcadore ( talk) 03:30, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
I noticed you added an infobox to Gary Paffett, complete with all his DTM results. A lot of the other DTM drivers, like Timo Scheider still need infoboxes and I wanted to do them, but I was wondering where you got Paffett's DTM stats from, so that I can add stats to the other drivers' infoboxes. Thanks Petera93 ( talk) 09:40, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
Looking through the number of times you are currently on my watchlist, I can't help but think that you would find AWB quite useful... Aptery gial 09:19, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
Maybe you're right, maybe I'm right, I don't know; I've just never heard of a 1.015 mile distance. (Not that a big freakin' deal should be made about .017 of a mile!) I've only heard of 1 mile (NA$CAR won't be specific about track lengths) and the longtime CART measurement of 1.032. Unfortunately www.milwaukeemile.com does not show an exact distance, and I don't know if that is a new IRL measurement or what, so I only posted that distance with my best knowledge and to stay consistent with previous season pages on Wikipedia. 97.125.92.220 ( talk) 04:08, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
It must be a new measurement, because I've noticed that all of this weekend's race reports have the 1.015 distance. I wonder if the other Wiki pages shouldn't be changed to reflect this? 97.125.92.220 ( talk) 17:53, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
Well done, you managed to beat me to the race 2 results for F2! I was wondering whether it would be worth putting in the car names you can see on the live timing (e.g. Wickens=Red Bull - Lukoil) on the driver chart. What do you think? Petera93 ( talk) 12:19, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
I can see that you're very busy today, but you might be interested in this discussion when you've finished. ;) -- Midgrid (talk) 15:11, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
I've finally managed to add Andy Priaulx's complete WTCC record table to his page. If you get a spare minute it would be great if you could just check that I've done it correctly before I move on to all the other WTCC driver's. Thanks again, Petera93 ( talk) 20:07, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

2008 Turkish Grand Prix, new
Good Article
The 2008 Turkish Grand Prix (formally the IV Petrol Ofisi Turkish Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on May 11, 2008 at the Istanbul Racing Circuit, Istanbul, Turkey. It was the fifth race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 58 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team after starting from pole position. Lewis Hamilton finished second in a McLaren, with Kimi Räikkönen third in the second Ferrari. Massa claimed pole, with teammate Räikkönen fourth, the two Ferrari cars sandwiching the McLarens of Heikki Kovalainen and Hamilton. At the first corner Räikkönen clipped Kovalainen's rear tyre and gave him a puncture. The safety car was deployed on the first lap, after a collision, but only remained out for one lap. During the course of the race, Hamilton, intending to make one more pit stop than both Ferrari drivers, was faster than Massa due to carrying a lighter fuel load and overtook him on lap 24. After Hamilton had made his third pit stop, he rejoined in second behind Massa but in front of the Championship leader, Räikkönen. Massa won the race, with Hamilton 3.779 seconds behind, and Räikkönen a further half-second behind. The two BMW Sauber cars of Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld took fourth and fifth. In the week running up to the grand prix, the Super Aguri team had withdrawn from Formula One, due to financial problems, leaving the sport with only ten teams. Massa's victory was his third consecutive pole position and victory in Turkey, having also won the race from pole in 2006 and 2007. This was also Rubens Barrichello's 257th Grand Prix start, breaking Riccardo Patrese's previous record of 256. Due to the race result, Räikkönen's lead in the Drivers' Championship was lowered to seven points. Massa rose to second from fourth, whilst Hamilton dropped to third, both drivers tying on 28 points but separated by Massa's two wins thus far to Hamilton's one. In the Constructors' Championship, Ferrari increased their lead to 22 points ahead of BMW Sauber, with McLaren a further two points behind in third.

A while ago race results were shown for Formula One and CART at the Rio de Janeiro circuit. Why did those need to be deleted? The F1 results, yes, can be found in the Brazilian Grand Prix page, but there is no page for the Rio 400K. 97.125.92.220 ( talk) 05:41, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for warning me, but it wasn't actually too bad. Euro F3 had already been done as I wasn't up til midday(!). I managed to rack up my 1000th contribution doing the WRC drivers standings. I haven't updated any of the drivers' articles for F2 though, so thats still left to be done. Also I was still asleep during the first SF race and I can't find the FL anywhere.

2008 Monaco Grand Prix, new
Featured Article
The 2008 Monaco Grand Prix (formally the LXVI Grand Prix de Monaco) was a Formula One motor race held on May 25, 2008 at the Circuit de Monaco; contested over 76 laps, it was the sixth race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race was won by the season's eventual Drivers' Champion, Lewis Hamilton, for the McLaren team. BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica finished second, and Felipe Massa, who started from pole position, was third in a Ferrari. Conditions were wet at the start of the race. Massa maintained his lead into the first corner, but his teammate Kimi Räikkönen was passed for second by Hamilton, who had started in third position on the grid. Hamilton suffered a punctured tyre on lap six, forcing him to make a pit stop from which he re-entered the race in fifth place. As the track dried and his rivals made their own pit stops Hamilton became the race leader, a position he held until the end of the race. Kubica's strategy allowed him to pass Massa during their second pit stops, after the latter's Ferrari was forced to change from wet to dry tyres. Räikkönen dropped back from fifth position to ninth after colliding with Adrian Sutil's Force India late in the race. Sutil had started from 18th on the grid and was in fourth position before the incident, which allowed Red Bull driver Mark Webber to finish fourth, ahead of Toro Rosso driver Sebastian Vettel in fifth. The race was Hamilton's second win of the season, his first in Monaco, and the result meant that he led the Drivers' Championship, seven points ahead of Räikkönen and eight ahead of Massa. Ferrari maintained their lead in the Constructors' Championship, 16 points ahead of McLaren and 17 ahead of BMW Sauber, with 12 races of the season remaining.

Thanks for the infobox and for adding it to the report. I know nothing about those templates or how they work but there's a slight problem at the moment in that it just says 'Race' and 'Race 2' rather than 'Race 1' and 'Race 2'. Could this be sorted by any chance? Thanks MotorsportPete93 (talk) 16:39, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

No problem! I saw the edit and it just didn't seem likely at all, so I checked up with Autosport and got the facts. I've noticed that Cybervoron is a little bit prone to wacky stuff like that, so I always check his edits! Cheers, Bretonbanquet ( talk) 16:39, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
You certainly know your lower formulae! I have to admit that my knowledge of anything below GP2 was pretty sketchy until I got involved with Wikipedia. I think the coverage you and a few of the other guys provide on here is awesome and I enjoy following what goes on. These are the drivers everyone will be watching in F1 in a few years time, so it's good to get a head-start! Bretonbanquet ( talk) 21:09, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
That would make sense - or 6-10-10, or maybe an extra session, if they could fit it in with the TV people... Bretonbanquet ( talk) 00:37, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
Of course he read our conversation! I'm sure all self-respecting racing drivers follow what we say! Haha.. he really did a great job today though, I really hope he keeps it up. Nasty business with Massa, it reminded me of the Ratzenberger / Senna weekend - just the whole "not sure what to say" atmosphere of the TV people and the general lack of information for those few minutes. I agree with you on the Indy Lights edit - I reverted the other guy, so let's see if he objects! Knowing him, he probably will... Bretonbanquet ( talk) 22:36, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
Sure, sounds like a good idea to make it GA at least, since it may prove to be quite an important race. I'll certainly go through it from time to time, copyediting etc as I go :) Bretonbanquet ( talk) 19:24, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
Just went through the race and post-race sections. It looks good! I made a few cosmetic changes, but there really wasn't much that needed changing. Good job! ;) Bretonbanquet ( talk) 21:45, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

2008 French Grand Prix, current
Good Article nominee.
The 2008 French Grand Prix (formally the XCIII Grand Prix de France) was a Formula One motor race held on June 22, 2008 at the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours, France. It was the eighth race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 70 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team after starting from second position. Kimi Räikkönen, who started from pole position, finished second in the other Ferrari car; Jarno Trulli was third in a Toyota. Räikkönen and Massa both made a clean start. Renault's Fernando Alonso, who started third, was overtaken by Trulli and BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica. The front three of Räikkönen, Massa and Trulli maintained their positions through the first round of pit stops. On lap 30, Räikkönen led Massa by six and a half seconds, and Trulli by 30 seconds. Just before half distance, Räikkönen's right exhaust pipe broke, which caused the engine to lose power. Massa, in second place, began lapping quicker than Räikkönen, and he caught and passed him on lap 39. Massa maintained his lead through the second round of pit stops, and won the race; Räikkönen finished almost 18 seconds behind. Trulli fended off McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen, who challenged him in the latter stages, to take third. Massa's win promoted him into the lead of the Drivers' Championship for the first time in his career, overtaking Kubica. Kubica was second, two points behind Massa, while Räikkönen was third. In the Constructors' Championship, Ferrari increased their lead to 17 points ahead of BMW Sauber, McLaren a further 16 points behind in third.

Yes, it's the same guy as well :-/ I posted on the WP:Motorsport discussion page to let people know he'd started again - I can't say I have the heart to go about deleting his articles again, last time he took it quite badly - he suggested we were denying him his human rights... What can you say?!! As for the flag farce - that editor in question is just thoroughly disruptive in my view - a royal pain in the backside. I'll not give up though!! AOK with the Hungarian GP article - I think it stands a great chance of success :) Bretonbanquet ( talk) 19:37, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi Cs-wolves. I've noticed that as you're been replacing links to "Lola Racing Cars" with "Lola Cars", you've also been replacing links to other redirects, e.g. "BRM" --> "British Racing Motors", "McLaren (racing)" --> "McLaren", etc. I was just wondering: are you identifying and replacing those redirects manually, or is there some setting in AWB to automatically identify and replace them? Regards. DH85868993 ( talk) 13:57, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for sending out the newsletter - I was planning to do it myself, but completely forgot about it on the day and was only reminded about it when you delivered my copy! I'll take a look at the article at some point, but it looks good at first glance.-- Midgrid (talk) 20:40, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for changing the bit about Rigon in the GP2 article. I kind of just made a wild guess about it without doing any research (although I'm sure I remember hearing something or other about a clash - but obviously not!). Thanks for clearing up the mess I leave in my wake. - mspete93 [talk] 18:23, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi! Yes, the Hungary article looks really good now - I think a great job was done of the little clean-ups that were deemed necessary. I'm doing ok, although the Flag Queen is doing her best to wreck my mood - did you see she started yet another flag discussion at the WP Motorsport talk page? Mr Cybervoron is unequivocably wrong with the surnames, and I reverted him. When is van der Garde ever referred to as "Garde"? About as often as Andrea de Cesaris was referred to as "Cesaris" throughout his over-long career, I'll bet. If "van der" is not part of the guy's surname, what is it? A middle name? Lol... Bretonbanquet ( talk) 18:52, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
What happens to the Fisichella Motor Sport article now? Do we do what we did to BCN Competicion and change its name? I think that Enzo Coloni Racing Car Systems and Coloni Motorsport's activities since need to be seperate articles. The team has remained effectively the same apart from the name anyway since 2005 I believe. I changed the ref on 2009 GP2 Series season to a copy that we could read without needing access to the media section, although an official announcement is expected later today. Thanks - mspete93 [talk] 11:51, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi. Sorry about points mistake, I just copied data from gpupdate.net, which was wrong (it still is).
Also, I can see you reverted my change where I added the fact he's a GP2 driver in the intro. Is there a specific reason why you did this? There is no explanation in revision summary. I believe this is important fact and should be left there, as someone reading the article wouldn't need to scroll to find out where he's racing now. Satellite779 ( talk) 09:41, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
I've noticed you're quite keen on fixing links to redirects. I've just found this which you might want to read. If you're happy as you are then don't let me stop you, but the less time you spend doing these boring tasks that you don't actually need to do the more time you have for other, more interesting, tasks. ;-) - mspete93 [talk] 17:07, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

The Brabham BT46 was a Formula One racing car, designed by Gordon Murray for the Brabham team, owned by Bernie Ecclestone, for the 1978 Formula One season. The car featured several radical design elements, the most obvious of which was the use of flat panel heat exchangers on the bodywork of the car to replace conventional water and oil radiators. The concept did not work in practice and was removed before the car’s race debut, never to be seen again. The cars, powered by a flat-12 Alfa Romeo engine, raced competitively with modified nose-mounted radiators for most of the year, driven by Niki Lauda and John Watson, winning one race in this form and scoring sufficient points for the team to finish third in the constructors championship. The "B" variant of the car, also known as the "fan car", was introduced at the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix as a counter to the dominant ground effect Lotus 79. The BT46B generated an immense level of downforce by means of a fan, claimed to be for increased cooling, but which also extracted air from beneath the car. The car only raced once in this configuration in the Formula One World Championship—when Niki Lauda won the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix at Anderstorp. The car was withdrawn before it could race again and the concept was declared illegal by the FIA. The BT46B therefore preserves a 100% winning record.

Ha, I read it as 4 points rather than 104! Thanks once again for clearing up my mess. I'm just in the process of creating his page. I don't know whether you've noticed what I've put on Talk:2009 GP2 Series season with regard to the championship table codes - mspete93 [talk] 17:41, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
I don't see any problem with having another contributor, even if that suggestion at WT:F1 was taking boldness beyond its limits. They haven't made any newsletter-related edits yet, so I think we should give them the benefit of the doubt until they do.
And thanks for the birthday message. :) -- Midgrid (talk) 14:29, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
I think Pérez is the driver who had driven the fastest lap. In TV he had 28 points.-- Gamma127 ( talk) 13:44, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

2008 German Grand Prix, current Good Article Candidate.
The 2008 German Grand Prix (formally the LXVIII Großer Preis Santander von Deutschland) was a Formula One motor race held on July 20, 2008 at the Hockenheimring, Hockenheim, Germany. It was the 10th race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 67 laps, was won by Lewis Hamilton for the McLaren team after starting from pole position. Nelson Piquet, Jr. finished second in a Renault car, with Felipe Massa third in a Ferrari. Hamilton maintained his startline advantage and led until he made his first pit stop on lap 18. 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.

Help needed! I'm busy rearranging the 2008 BTCC Table here as I said that I would. However, I've hit a stumbling block at BTC Racing, trying to show that Stockton and Oliver used the Lexus and the SEAT, while Howell only used the SEAT. If you know how to sort this out, can you enter the BTC part of the table on my talk page. Thanks Petera93 ( talk) 11:50, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi Cs-wolves. Do you know about the AWB editing tool? I think it could possibly save you a lot of time in replacing the links to Lola Racing Cars. Although I have noticed that as you are replacing the Lola links, you are also making many other useful changes to the articles, so feel free to continue doing what you are doing. Regards.

2008 Bahrain Grand Prix, new
Good Article
The 2008 Bahrain Grand Prix (formally the V Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on April 6, 2008 at the Bahrain International Circuit, in Sakhir, Bahrain. It was the third race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 57 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team. Kimi Räikkönen was second in the other Ferrari, and BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica was third. The race began with Kubica in pole position alongside Massa; Lewis Hamilton, the eventual Drivers' Champion, started from third, alongside Räikkönen. Kubica was passed by Massa into the first corner, and then by Räikkönen on the third lap. The Ferraris dominated at the front of the race, leading to their one-two finish. Hamilton had a slow start after almost stalling on the grid, and dropped back to ninth. The McLaren driver ran into the back of Fernando Alonso's Renault a lap later, breaking off the McLaren's front wing and dropping Hamilton to the back of the field. Kubica's strong finish promoted BMW Sauber to the lead in the Constructors' Championship, after BMW driver Nick Heidfeld finished fourth. Ferrari and McLaren trailed, one and two points behind, respectively. Räikkönen took the lead in the Drivers' Championship, with 19 points, three points ahead of Heidfeld and five ahead of Hamilton, Kubica and Kovalainen, with 15 races remaining in the season.

for ploughing through all those Grand Prix race articles, adding much-needed infoboxes. Great work :) Bretonbanquet ( talk) 21:38, 6 May 2009 (UTC) |
reply to User talk:Falcadore#Motorsport in 2009 template I think to get some movement on this we'd have to bring it up on the Wikiproject page. -- Falcadore ( talk) 03:30, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
I noticed you added an infobox to Gary Paffett, complete with all his DTM results. A lot of the other DTM drivers, like Timo Scheider still need infoboxes and I wanted to do them, but I was wondering where you got Paffett's DTM stats from, so that I can add stats to the other drivers' infoboxes.

Looking through the number of times you are currently on my watchlist, I can't help but think that you would find AWB quite useful... Aptery gial 09:19, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
Maybe you're right, maybe I'm right, I don't know; I've just never heard of a 1.015 mile distance. (Not that a big freakin' deal should be made about .017 of a mile!) I've only heard of 1 mile (NA$CAR won't be specific about track lengths) and the longtime CART measurement of 1.032. Unfortunately www.milwaukeemile.com does not show an exact distance, and I don't know if that is a new IRL measurement or what, so I only posted that distance with my best knowledge and to stay consistent with previous season pages on Wikipedia. 97.125.92.220 ( talk) 04:08, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
It must be a new measurement, because I've noticed that all of this weekend's race reports have the 1.015 distance. I wonder if the other Wiki pages shouldn't be changed to reflect this? 97.125.92.220 ( talk) 17:53, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
Well done, you managed to beat me to the race 2 results for F2! I was wondering whether it would be worth putting in the car names you can see on the live timing (e.g. Wickens=Red Bull - Lukoil) on the driver chart. What do you think? Petera93 ( talk) 12:19, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
I can see that you're very busy today, but you might be interested in this discussion when you've finished. ;) -- Midgrid (talk) 15:11, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
I've finally managed to add Andy Priaulx's complete WTCC record table to his page. If you get a spare minute it would be great if you could just check that I've done it correctly before I move on to all the other WTCC driver's. Thanks again, Petera93 ( talk) 20:07, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

2008 Turkish Grand Prix, new
Good Article
The 2008 Turkish Grand Prix (formally the IV Petrol Ofisi Turkish Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on May 11, 2008 at the Istanbul Racing Circuit, Istanbul, Turkey. It was the fifth race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 58 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team after starting from pole position. Lewis Hamilton finished second in a McLaren, with Kimi Räikkönen third in the second Ferrari. Massa claimed pole, with teammate Räikkönen fourth, the two Ferrari cars sandwiching the McLarens of Heikki Kovalainen and Hamilton. At the first corner Räikkönen clipped Kovalainen's rear tyre and gave him a puncture. The safety car was deployed on the first lap, after a collision, but only remained out for one lap. During the course of the race, Hamilton, intending to make one more pit stop than both Ferrari drivers, was faster than Massa due to carrying a lighter fuel load and overtook him on lap 24. After Hamilton had made his third pit stop, he rejoined in second behind Massa but in front of the Championship leader, Räikkönen. Massa won the race, with Hamilton 3.779 seconds behind, and Räikkönen a further half-second behind. The two BMW Sauber cars of Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld took fourth and fifth. In the week running up to the grand prix, the Super Aguri team had withdrawn from Formula One, due to financial problems, leaving the sport with only ten teams. Massa's victory was his third consecutive pole position and victory in Turkey, having also won the race from pole in 2006 and 2007. This was also Rubens Barrichello's 257th Grand Prix start, breaking Riccardo Patrese's previous record of 256. Due to the race result, Räikkönen's lead in the Drivers' Championship was lowered to seven points. Massa rose to second from fourth, whilst Hamilton dropped to third, both drivers tying on 28 points but separated by Massa's two wins thus far to Hamilton's one. In the Constructors' Championship, Ferrari increased their lead to 22 points ahead of BMW Sauber, with McLaren a further two points behind in third.

2008 Monaco Grand Prix, new
Featured Article
The 2008 Monaco Grand Prix (formally the LXVI Grand Prix de Monaco) was a Formula One motor race held on May 25, 2008 at the Circuit de Monaco; contested over 76 laps, it was the sixth race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race was won by the season's eventual Drivers' Champion, Lewis Hamilton, for the McLaren team. BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica finished second, and Felipe Massa, who started from pole position, was third in a Ferrari. Conditions were wet at the start of the race. Massa maintained his lead into the first corner, but his teammate Kimi Räikkönen was passed for second by Hamilton, who had started in third position on the grid. Hamilton suffered a punctured tyre on lap six, forcing him to make a pit stop from which he re-entered the race in fifth place. As the track dried and his rivals made their own pit stops Hamilton became the race leader, a position he held until the end of the race. Kubica's strategy allowed him to pass Massa during their second pit stops, after the latter's Ferrari was forced to change from wet to dry tyres. Räikkönen dropped back from fifth position to ninth after colliding with Adrian Sutil's Force India late in the race. Sutil had started from 18th on the grid and was in fourth position before the incident, which allowed Red Bull driver Mark Webber to finish fourth, ahead of Toro Rosso driver Sebastian Vettel in fifth. The race was Hamilton's second win of the season, his first in Monaco, and the result meant that he led the Drivers' Championship, seven points ahead of Räikkönen and eight ahead of Massa. Ferrari maintained their lead in the Constructors' Championship, 16 points ahead of McLaren and 17 ahead of BMW Sauber, with 12 races of the season remaining.

No problem! I saw the edit and it just didn't seem likely at all, so I checked up with Autosport and got the facts. I've noticed that Cybervoron is a little bit prone to wacky stuff like that, so I always check his edits! Cheers, Bretonbanquet ( talk) 16:39, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
You certainly know your lower formulae! I have to admit that my knowledge of anything below GP2 was pretty sketchy until I got involved with Wikipedia. I think the coverage you and a few of the other guys provide on here is awesome and I enjoy following what goes on. These are the drivers everyone will be watching in F1 in a few years time, so it's good to get a head-start! Bretonbanquet ( talk) 21:09, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
That would make sense - or 6-10-10, or maybe an extra session, if they could fit it in with the TV people... Bretonbanquet ( talk) 00:37, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
Of course he read our conversation! I'm sure all self-respecting racing drivers follow what we say! Haha.. he really did a great job today though, I really hope he keeps it up. Nasty business with Massa, it reminded me of the Ratzenberger / Senna weekend - just the whole "not sure what to say" atmosphere of the TV people and the general lack of information for those few minutes. I agree with you on the Indy Lights edit - I reverted the other guy, so let's see if he objects! Knowing him, he probably will... Bretonbanquet ( talk) 22:36, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
Sure, sounds like a good idea to make it GA at least, since it may prove to be quite an important race. I'll certainly go through it from time to time, copyediting etc as I go :) Bretonbanquet ( talk) 19:24, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
Just went through the race and post-race sections. It looks good! I made a few cosmetic changes, but there really wasn't much that needed changing. Good job! ;) Bretonbanquet ( talk) 21:45, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

2008 French Grand Prix, current
Good Article nominee.
The 2008 French Grand Prix (formally the XCIII Grand Prix de France) was a Formula One motor race held on June 22, 2008 at the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours, France. It was the eighth race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 70 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team after starting from second position. Kimi Räikkönen, who started from pole position, finished second in the other Ferrari car; Jarno Trulli was third in a Toyota. Räikkönen and Massa both made a clean start. Renault's Fernando Alonso, who started third, was overtaken by Trulli and BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica. The front three of Räikkönen, Massa and Trulli maintained their positions through the first round of pit stops. On lap 30, Räikkönen led Massa by six and a half seconds, and Trulli by 30 seconds. Just before half distance, Räikkönen's right exhaust pipe broke, which caused the engine to lose power. Massa, in second place, began lapping quicker than Räikkönen, and he caught and passed him on lap 39. Massa maintained his lead through the second round of pit stops, and won the race; Räikkönen finished almost 18 seconds behind. Trulli fended off McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen, who challenged him in the latter stages, to take third. Massa's win promoted him into the lead of the Drivers' Championship for the first time in his career, overtaking Kubica. Kubica was second, two points behind Massa, while Räikkönen was third. In the Constructors' Championship, Ferrari increased their lead to 17 points ahead of BMW Sauber, McLaren a further 16 points behind in third.

Yes, it's the same guy as well :-/ I posted on the WP:Motorsport discussion page to let people know he'd started again - I can't say I have the heart to go about deleting his articles again, last time he took it quite badly - he suggested we were denying him his human rights... What can you say?!! As for the flag farce - that editor in question is just thoroughly disruptive in my view - a royal pain in the backside. I'll not give up though!! AOK with the Hungarian GP article - I think it stands a great chance of success :) Bretonbanquet ( talk) 19:37, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi Cs-wolves. I've noticed that as you're been replacing links to "Lola Racing Cars" with "Lola Cars", you've also been replacing links to other redirects, e.g. "BRM" --> "British Racing Motors", "McLaren (racing)" --> "McLaren", etc. I was just wondering: are you identifying and replacing those redirects manually, or is there some setting in AWB to automatically identify and replace them? Regards. DH85868993 ( talk) 13:57, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for sending out the newsletter - I was planning to do it myself, but completely forgot about it on the day and was only reminded about it when you delivered my copy! I'll take a look at the article at some point, but it looks good at first glance.-- Midgrid (talk) 20:40, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for changing the bit about Rigon in the GP2 article. I kind of just made a wild guess about it without doing any research (although I'm sure I remember hearing something or other about a clash - but obviously not!). Thanks for clearing up the mess I leave in my wake. - mspete93 [talk] 18:23, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi! Yes, the Hungary article looks really good now - I think a great job was done of the little clean-ups that were deemed necessary. I'm doing ok, although the Flag Queen is doing her best to wreck my mood - did you see she started yet another flag discussion at the WP Motorsport talk page? Mr Cybervoron is unequivocably wrong with the surnames, and I reverted him. When is van der Garde ever referred to as "Garde"? About as often as Andrea de Cesaris was referred to as "Cesaris" throughout his over-long career, I'll bet. If "van der" is not part of the guy's surname, what is it? A middle name? Lol...

What happens to the Fisichella Motor Sport article now? Do we do what we did to BCN Competicion and change its name? I think that Enzo Coloni Racing Car Systems and Coloni Motorsport's activities since need to be seperate articles. The team has remained effectively the same apart from the name anyway since 2005 I believe. I changed the ref on 2009 GP2 Series season to a copy that we could read without needing access to the media section, although an official announcement is expected later today.

Hi. Sorry about points mistake, I just copied data from gpupdate.net, which was wrong (it still is).
Also, I can see you reverted my change where I added the fact he's a GP2 driver in the intro. Is there a specific reason why you did this? There is no explanation in revision summary. I believe this is important fact and should be left there, as someone reading the article wouldn't need to scroll to find out where he's racing now. Satellite779 ( talk) 09:41, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
I've noticed you're quite keen on fixing links to redirects. I've just found this which you might want to read. If you're happy as you are then don't let me stop you, but the less time you spend doing these boring tasks that you don't actually need to do the more time you have for other, more interesting, tasks. ;-) - mspete93 [talk] 17:07, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Article of the month -
Brabham BT46, current
Good Article, after reassessment.
The Brabham BT46 was a Formula One racing car, designed by Gordon Murray for the Brabham team, owned by Bernie Ecclestone, for the 1978 Formula One season. The car featured several radical design elements, the most obvious of which was the use of flat panel heat exchangers on the bodywork of the car to replace conventional water and oil radiators. The concept did not work in practice and was removed before the car’s race debut, never to be seen again. The cars, powered by a flat-12 Alfa Romeo engine, raced competitively with modified nose-mounted radiators for most of the year, driven by Niki Lauda and John Watson, winning one race in this form and scoring sufficient points for the team to finish third in the constructors championship. The "B" variant of the car, also known as the "fan car", was introduced at the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix as a counter to the dominant ground effect Lotus 79. The BT46B generated an immense level of downforce by means of a fan, claimed to be for increased cooling, but which also extracted air from beneath the car. The car only raced once in this configuration in the Formula One World Championship—when Niki Lauda won the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix at Anderstorp. The car was withdrawn before it could race again and the concept was declared illegal by the FIA. The BT46B therefore preserves a 100% winning record.

Ha, I read it as 4 points rather than 104! Thanks once again for clearing up my mess. I'm just in the process of creating his page. I don't know whether you've noticed what I've put on Talk:2009 GP2 Series season with regard to the championship table codes - mspete93 [talk] 17:41, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
I don't see any problem with having another contributor, even if that suggestion at WT:F1 was taking boldness beyond its limits. They haven't made any newsletter-related edits yet, so I think we should give them the benefit of the doubt until they do.
And thanks for the birthday message. :) -- Midgrid (talk) 14:29, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
I think Pérez is the driver who had driven the fastest lap. In TV he had 28 points.-- Gamma127 ( talk) 13:44, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
