• Source seems to say that Suzuka had eighteen corners in 2010 rather than seventeen. Autocourse also seems to list Suzuka as having eighteen corners. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 11:29, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Changed the article to reflect the sourcing. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 13:22, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
• Paul di Resta not participating in practice feels like it needs more context, although reading the source I'm not particularly sure what. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 12:11, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
  • True, not much is stated in my research MWright96 (talk) 18:03, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
• How was Hamilton "intrigued to learn he remained in the championship battle"? I don't really get that impression from the source. Am I missing something? HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 12:44, 29 July 2021 (UTC) Refreshing the page it seems that my browser cut off the last two lines of the source article, so yes, I was missing something. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 12:46, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
• "Lucas di Grassi was replaced by GP2 Series driver Jérôme d'Ambrosio at Virgin Racing to allow the latter to undergo evaluation as a driver in the second successive first practice session." probably needs to have the fact that di Grassi was only replaced for free practice put closer to the verb. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 12:56, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Changed wording MWright96 (talk) 18:03, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
• The part of the Autosport source in the first paragraph of the qualifying section where the Williams technical director proposes the introduction of monsoon tyres seems like it could be utilised in the text. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 15:31, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Added MWright96 (talk) 18:03, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
• Discussion of parc fermé could be clearer. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 15:34, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Added note MWright96 (talk) 18:03, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
• How did Kubica "not make much of an impact during qualifying"? HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 15:48, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Removed wording MWright96 (talk) 18:03, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
• Feel like "footage observed Vettel moving and stopping again before the event commenced" could be clearer. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 17:19, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Reworded MWright96 (talk) 18:03, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
• "Green flag pit stops" could be clearer. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 17:36, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Changed wording MWright96 (talk) 18:03, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
• Order needs to be switched on the speed Rosberg's crash happened at so km/h goes first, as that would seem to be consistent with the rest of the article. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 18:15, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
• Kobayashi's performance seems to receive an (almost unusual) level of coverage in sources. Perhaps this could be briefly mentioned in the lead? HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 18:17, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
• All quotes appear to be appropriately sourced. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 18:23, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 11:13, 29 July 2021 (UTC) Passes the Good Article criteria fairly easily. Would need a copyedit to reach Featured Article status, but not much more. A very well sourced and comprehensive article. Thanks to MWright96 for addressing the few comments I had. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 18:25, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Rain sprays from the safety car's tyres

• ... that torrential rain (pictured) meant that some spectators missed out at the 2010 Japanese Grand Prix when the qualifying practice session was delayed until the following day? Source: "Inclement weather continued to disrupt the Saturday's proceedings as qualifying was delayed three times every half an hour while the safety car was deployed several times to assess the conditions before being ultimately rescheduled for Sunday morning by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA)'s race director Charlie Whiting on safety grounds arising from fading light levels." Reuters, BBC "Local driver Kamui Kobayashi for Sauber said he felt sorry for attendees seated in the grandstands not witnessing any action." Crash

Hamilton in his car

• ALT1:... that Lewis Hamilton (pictured in car) had to start the 2010 Japanese Grand Prix from five places further back than he qualified after the McLaren mechanics changed his Formula One car's gearbox? Source: "After qualifying, Hamilton was demoted five starting places because McLaren opted to change his gearbox after detecting worsening abnormal gearbox oil pressure in his vehicle during the third practice session that could not be rectified before qualifying." Reuters

Alonso in his car

• ALT2:... that Fernando Alonso (pictured in car) finished third at the 2010 Japanese Grand Prix while his Ferrari teammate Felipe Massa crashed out at the first corner? ESPN, Autosport "Alonso revealed he made a slow getaway but felt his team had to be satisfied with his coming third despite lacking pace: "We saw we were struggling today: in Q1 we were P7, we saw problems also for Felipe in Q2, so it was maybe not an ideal weekend in terms of pace and we lost three points in the championship, but overall we have to be extremely happy."" FIA; "Massa was given less room trying to pass the slow-starting Rosberg and had to drove onto the grass on the track's inside. This caused him to lose control of his car and hit the side of Liuzzi's vehicle." ITV

• Reviewed: This is my fifth nomination, although I have reviewed several other nominations recently
• Comment: Article became a good article on 29 July 2021. Would like to request that the hook be reserved for the afternoon of either 29 August, 5 September, or 12 September, as those coincide with the dates of upcoming Grands Prix; or for the morning of 10 October, as that coincides with the currently scheduled date of the 2021 Japanese Grand Prix.
