REMEMBER, YOU CAN VOTE. The 2012 German Grand Prix featured a race-long battle between Fernando Alonso (Ferrari), Jenson Button (McLaren), and Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull). Alonso ultimately held on to win, whilst Vettel was penalised for leaving the confines of the circuit to make a late-race pass on Button, dropping him to fifth place. New images 2012
Article of the month – 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix, failed Today's Featured Article candidate The 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix (formally the Formula 1 ING Magyar Nagydíj 2008) was a Formula One motor race held on August 3, 2008, at the Hungaroring in Mogyoród, near Budapest, Hungary. It was the 11th race of the 2008 Formula One season. Contested over 70 laps, the race was won by Heikki Kovalainen for the McLaren team, from a second position start. Timo Glock finished second in a Toyota car, with Kimi Räikkönen third in a Ferrari. It was Kovalainen's first Formula One victory, which made him the sport's 100th driver to win a World Championship race, and it was Glock's first podium finish. The majority of the race consisted of a duel between Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa, who drove for McLaren and Ferrari, respectively. Hamilton started from pole position but was beaten at the first corner by Massa, who passed him around the outside. The two championship rivals began a battle for the lead that was resolved when Hamilton sustained a punctured tyre just over halfway through the race, giving Massa a lead of more than 20 seconds over Kovalainen. The Ferrari's engine, however, failed with three laps remaining, allowing the McLaren driver to win. Räikkönen set the race's fastest lap in the other Ferrari, but was hampered by a poor qualifying performance and was stuck behind Fernando Alonso (Renault) and Glock in turn for almost all of the race. As a consequence of the race, Hamilton extended his lead in the World Drivers' Championship to five points over Räikkönen, with Massa a further three behind. Robert Kubica, who finished eighth after finding his BMW Sauber car uncompetitive at the Hungaroring, slipped to 13 points behind Hamilton, ahead of teammate Nick Heidfeld and Kovalainen. In the World Constructors' Championship, McLaren passed BMW Sauber for second position, 11 points behind Ferrari. (More...)

REMEMBER, YOU CAN VOTE. The 2012 Belgian Grand Prix took place at the historic Spa-Francorchamps circuit. Before the event, it was announced that the circuit's contract to host the race has been extended to 2015.
Article of the month – List of Formula One fatal accidents, current Featured List candidate Formula One (F1) is the highest class of open-wheeled auto racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motorsport's world governing body. The "formula" in the name refers to a set of rules to which all participants and vehicles must conform. The F1 World Championship season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, held usually on purpose-built circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets. The results of each race are combined to determine two annual Championships, one for drivers and one for constructors. Safety standards have improved since the first World Championship Grand Prix at Silverstone in 1950, where there was no medical back-up or safety measures, in case of an accident. It was not until the 1960s these were first introduced, as helmets and overalls became mandatory and the FIA assumed responsibility for safety at the circuits. Steps were taken to improve the safety of the Formula One car in the 1970s; the cockpit opening was enlarged allowing the driver to escape quicker in the event of an accident and outside mirrors became mandatory. The 1980s saw further improvement in the structure of the Formula One car, with the monocoque being made out of carbon fibre instead of aluminium, increasing protection upon impact. Following the death of Ayrton Senna in 1994, a number of measures were introduced in an attempt to slow the cars down, including the prohibition of traction control systems. Grooved tyres were introduced in 1998 instead of racing slick tyres to reduce cornering speed. Safety measures continued to be introduced into the 21st century, with a number of circuits having their configuration changed to improve driver safety. This list includes drivers who have died during a FIA World Championship race weekend, and those who have died while driving a Formula One car outside of the World Championship. Track marshals and other race attendees who have died as a result of these accidents are not included in the list. Forty-nine drivers have died driving a Formula One car, with Cameron Earl being the first in 1952. Thirty-two of the drivers died during a World Championship Grand Prix race weekend, six during a test session and eleven during a non-championship Formula One event. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway has seen the most fatalities; seven drivers have died there during the course of the Indianapolis 500. Fifteen drivers died in the 1950s; fourteen in the 1960s; twelve in the 1970s; four in the 1980s and two in the 1990s. No driver has suffered a fatal accident since 1994,[A] making this the longest period in F1 history without a driver fatality. Only two Formula One Champions have died while racing or practicing in Formula One, Jochen Rindt in 1970, and Ayrton Senna in 1994. Rindt is the only driver to win the championship posthumously.

Isle of Man TT/British Grand Prix

Your deletion of my rather considerable contribution was not fair and wrong, I think. First of all- in case you didn't know- the Isle of Man TT was pretty much the British motorcycle Grand Prix from 1949-1976. It was part of what is now the MotoGP calendar during that time. So that's why I put that there, because there is no other article listing all the winners of that race when it was part of the international championship. And I imagine you would know but anyway the Isle of Man is one of the dependencies belonging to the United Kingdom. I would like to revert your edit, what you did was really not right. --76.95.132.85 (talk) 08:15, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Article of the month – List of red-flagged Formula One races, current Featured List Candidate Formula One, abbreviated to F1, is the highest class of open-wheeled auto racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motorsport's world governing body. The "formula" in the name refers to a set of rules to which all participants and vehicles must conform. The F1 World Championship season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, usually held on purpose-built circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets. The results of each race are combined to determine two annual championships, one for drivers and one for constructors. A red flag is shown when there has been an accident or the track conditions are poor enough to warrant the race being stopped. The flags are displayed by the marshals at various points around the circuit. Following a red flag being shown, the exit of the pit lane is closed and cars must proceed to the starting grid slowly, without overtaking. From 2005, a ten-minute warning is given before the race is resumed behind the safety car, which leads the field for a lap before it returns to the pit lane. Previously, the race was restarted in race order from the penultimate lap before the red flag was shown. If a race is unable to be resumed, "the results will be taken at the end of the penultimate lap before the lap during which the signal to suspend the race was given." If 75 per cent of the race distance has not been completed and the race cannot be resumed, half points are awarded. No points are awarded if the race cannot be restarted and less than two laps have been completed. Since the first World Championship Grand Prix in 1950, red flags have been shown in sixty-three races. Twenty-six were restarted on the first lap. Thirteen races, nine stopped because of rain and four due to accidents involving drivers, were not restarted. Three races were stopped due to incidents that resulted in fatalities: The 1975 Spanish Grand Prix was stopped on lap twenty-nine and not restarted after Rolf Stommelen's car crashed into a spectator area, killing five people. The 1982 Canadian Grand Prix was halted on the first lap after Riccardo Paletti was killed when his car collided with the back of Didier Pironi's Ferrari. The 1994 San Marino Grand Prix was red-flagged on lap five following the fatal accident of Ayrton Senna, in which his car crashed into a wall at the Tamburello curve. (More...)

New images 2012 File:Kimi Räikkönen at the USA GP.jpg
Article of the month – 2012 Formula One season, current Good Article nominee The 2012 Formula One season was the 63rd season of the Formula One World Championship, a motor racing championship for Formula One cars recognised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) — the governing body of motorsport — as the highest class of competition for open-wheel racing cars. The season was contested over twenty rounds, which started in Australia on 18 March and ended in Brazil on 25 November. The 2012 season saw the return of the United States Grand Prix, which was 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 also returned to the calendar. The early season was tumultuous, with seven different drivers winning the first seven races of the championship; a record for the series. It was not until the European Grand Prix in June that a driver, Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, won his second race of the year, and with it, emerged as a championship contender. Alonso maintained his hold on the championship lead for the next seven races, taking his third win in Germany and finishing on the podium in the United Kingdom, Italy and Singapore. However, costly first-lap retirements in Belgium and Japan allowed his rivals to catch up, and defending World Champion Sebastian Vettel — like Alonso, a two-time winner — took the lead in the sixteenth race of the season. Vettel, too, encountered difficulties throughout the season; contact with a backmarker left him to finish outside the points in Malaysia, while alternator failures at the European and Italian Grands Prix cost him valuable points and exclusion from qualifying in Abu Dhabi led him to start from the pit lane. Vettel entered the final race of the season with a thirteen-point lead over Alonso. Alonso needed a podium finish to stand any chance of becoming World Drivers' Champion, but in a race of attrition that finished under the safety car, Vettel finished in sixth place, scoring enough points to win his third consecutive championship, becoming the third driver to do so. In the World Constructors' Championship, Red Bull Racing secured their third consecutive title when Sebastian Vettel finished second at the United States Grand Prix. In addition to seeing seven drivers win the first seven races, the 2012 season broke several records. The calendar for the season included twenty races, breaking the previous record of nineteen, which was first set in 2005. Six current or former World Drivers' Champions — Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Räikkönen, and Michael Schumacher — started the season, breaking the record of five established in 1970.

Hey Readro :). Just a note that the Article Feedback Tool, Version 5 has now been re-enabled. Let us know on the talkpage if you spot any bugs. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 00:59, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

2013 Americas GP

Sorry if I take your time, I'd like to clarify why I put Ret rather than NC for Márquez and Baldassarri: usually the MotoGP reports say "Not Classified" for riders who retired from the race. In this case we put Ret in the tables, while we give NC to riders who finished the race crossing the line in the pitlane or who took the chequered flag but did not complete enough laps. Márquez and Baldassarri are in first case because these are normal retirements due to crashes, and they didn't take the chequered flag. Maybe the fact of the red flag misled you but also Petrucci, Pesek and Edwards in MotoGP are "Not Classified" in the official report but we use Ret for them as well, not NC, and we do this for every race. –Gpmat (talk) 18:35, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Your edits to Italian motorcycle Grand Prix

You appear to have added the following:

The Italian motorcycle Grand Prix is a motorcycling event that is part of the Grand Prix motorcycle racing season. Before 1991, Italy had previously held a round of the world championship, known as the Nations Grand Prix.

in this edit back in 2006.

Is there any historical source for the Italian motorcycle Grand Prix being called Nations Grand Prix? And if so, in what countries/languages? It does not Google, except for Wikipedia and Motogp.com - is the latter where you sourced it, from a modern website, almost qualifying as self-published? Further compounding the confusion is a redirect created by @Orsoni: which is just bouncing around to itself.

It started out with me intending to simply add an image to a BLP (with a caption 2nd place to Mike Hailwood, Italian Grand Prix) and not recognising the infobox link, formatted as [[Italian motorcycle Grand Prix|Nations Grand Prix}}, but so far I've spent 30 minutes checking period mags, books and net, trying to understand the basis for this, because I suspect something's wrong here. Is there any historically-provable, hard-copy basis? Am I missing a subtle connection somewhere? Thanks.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 15:01, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

I can see you've logged in a couple of times recently - I would still like any comments on this Nations Grand Prix which I couldn't verify. Thank you.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 20:26, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Much obliged for the info to my talk page - certainly is convincing and I appreciate the lengths you've gone to in providing the different sources. I've had a quick look and will digest it further later. I only found the motogp.com reference and I am sceptical about most websites. I can understand you not doing much on Wikipedia as I am, too, curtailing my activities during 2015 with just a little prose, mostly adding citations, images and logos. Thanks and regards.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 22:56, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
