Fair use rationale for Image:Mclaren logo (old).gif

edit
 

Image:Mclaren logo (old).gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Active suspension in France?

edit

The Ayrton Senna website has a quote from Senna about an active suspension supposedly on his car for that race, specifically 'Let's see what its IQ is." Has anyone else read anything about the 7A having active at that point? I don't know how much faith I should place in this for editing purposes. Carguy1701 (talk) 19:16, 8 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

The "Formula 1 review" section of Autocourse 92-93 (usually a pretty reliable source) says "...it was practice at Monza before an active McLaren appeared in public" and there's no mention of either McLaren running active suspension in the French Grand Prix report.

I figured as much. I want to believe Senna knew what he was running with but this was the first I had heard of it as well. Carguy1701 (talk) 04:26, 9 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
