I'll add some to the "Race" section, then you can add bits from the Autocourse in. :) D.M.N. (talk) 13:16, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
- I've done what I can of the post-race section so I'm happy for you to add bits from Autocourse or change bits if you wish to. :) D.M.N. (talk) 13:58, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
- Finished! :) I've done what I can with it. The race section may not flow well as I've only used what I've can from the BBC video. If you could try and replace some of the BBC refs with Autocourse references, that'd be great. The page size after you add bits from Autocourse will be nearly 60kb(!!) I think, so I'll definitely take it to peer review to trim it down a bit... the other race reports are only about 35/40kb! Whoosh! D.M.N. (talk) 19:12, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
- I've removed the bit about the air temperature. Does the Autocourse provide post-race quotes, either about the actual race or to do with the appeal? If so, could you add a bit of "skin" for the post-race section if you have a minute.... don't feel rushed doing it, I won't be taking it to PR till the 22nd May (after my first few exams finish). :) D.M.N.

Nice! I've got the Monaco GP preview edition from '95 - downloaded off "some popular racing site" a few months back. ;) D.M.N. (talk) 15:04, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
- Just replying to a peer review done by The Rambling Man (talk · contribs) over at Wikipedia:Peer review/1995 Brazilian Grand Prix/archive1, and there's a particular line which is poorly prosed: "Hill made a set-up change that he turned out not to be happy with," - is there any particular set-up changes he made in the session; do any of the 2 yearbooks mention anything specific? If not... I might remove that little bit as it appeared not to have an overall effect on his grid position.
2008 Turkish Grand Prix copyedit
After your magnificent copyedit of the 2008 German Grand Prix article, I was wondering whether you can copyedit the article I am currently working on, the 2008 Turkish Grand Prix. If you are busy in that strange and alien thing known as real life :) don't worry! Thanks, Darth Newdar (talk) 16:50, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you very much! I have removed most of the double-refs from the race section, apart from three where they are needed. I hope this is now okay? Once again, thank you very much. Darth Newdar (talk) 13:07, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
- I have expanded the race section a bit, especially with Kovalainen's passes on different people. See what you think. Darth Newdar (talk) 16:25, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks. Your copyedit will, no dobut, help the article pass GAN much quicker than otherwise! Darth Newdar (talk) 18:23, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Article of the month - 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.

Name change starts from here. Midgrid
Hey, Midgrid!
Hey Midgrid (this is weird, I feel like I should be asking Diniz), when you've got a moment, could you take a look at 2008 Monaco Grand Prix for me? I want (eventually) to take it to FAC, but I want to get as many eyes on it as I can before I do so. Thanks in advance, Apterygial 12:53, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks, I've responded to your questions on the talk page. I honestly have no idea how I ever wrote any articles without Autocourse, it was so useful here. Apterygial 00:10, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
Thanks
For adding more bits and bobs to the 1995 articles. :) I'm working on 1995 Argentine Grand Prix next, in my sandbox. D.M.N. (talk) 21:22, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
- Wow! That's a lot. Makes you wonder who'd want to get rid of them! After Argentina, it'll then by Imola. :) D.M.N. (talk) 21:45, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
- Just wondering, do any of your books mention any other upgrades for 1995 European Grand Prix apart from Williams and McLaren? Based on PR comments from Apterygial, I've moved the bits about the upgrades into the background, so wondered if any other teams had made any notable upgrades. Thanks, D.M.N. (talk) 13:30, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
Ferrari car articles renames
Hi Midgrid. I've started a discussion at WT:F1 about the four Ferrari F1 car articles you recently renamed. Note that I support the changes you made; I just wanted to make you were aware of the discussion. Regards. DH85868993 (talk) 15:20, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Article of the month - 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.

GP2 race reports
It seems the user has created 2009 Monaco GP2 Race and 2009 Turkish GP2 Race also. I've put it on the AFD page for the 2009 Spanish GP2 Race. Cs-wolves(talk) 20:50, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
Oooh.... =D I really hope BBC pick it as one of their Classic races - they should do (I hope!). D.M.N. (talk) 15:45, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- Ah, OK. (re: Autosport magazines)
- 1995 was still a good race, obviously Schumacher/Hill and of course Herbert's first win... it might at least get short highlights. Europe, Italy and Belgium have a solid chance of being put on as well I guess. Speaking of Europe, I think the FAC will fail (unfortunately), I'll probably take it down PR in that event. D.M.N. (talk) 15:58, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- Hmm, that's interesting. I'll start with the easy bit: I don't like the thought of using "free practice" and "qualifying practice" as it could get confusing for the layman, with repetition of "practice". Sticking with "practice" and "qualifying" would be easier (and simpler) I think.
- I'm not keen on introducing the factor of four sessions (two on each day). Reason being is that it'd get confusing if we are putting in something which we are not actually going to refer to. The Autocourse annual only refers to it as two sessions, as do Gale Force F1, so it seems like changing it, in my view, would complicate things. Not sure about changing it to "Friday's session" and "Saturday's session"... as long as we note on first occurance that the 1st session refers to Friday and Saturday is 2nd session, then I don't think we need to change anything. If a reader sees something at FAC that appears overcomplicated, they'd end up ignoring it... the above in my view seems like overcomplicating it. D.M.N. (talk) 19:37, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
When you've got a moment, check the talkpage. I've put a batch of quotes and stuff on there from a Damon Hill book I downloaded a week or so ago. Hope it is of use. ;) D.M.N. (talk) 17:24, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the "Thanks". Europe 1995 failed, as expected I guess, so off to PR I trundle. Note that I may not be active as much for the next few days - got a few viruses, treading on thin ice. :( D.M.N. (talk) 19:52, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- Just letting you know I haven't given up on the 1995 project, I'm just taking a bit of a break from it and working on other stuff. I'll probably come back to it in a week or two. =] D.M.N. (talk)
- Thanks for the note - will watch when I've got a moment. I am downloading things BTW, I've downloaded:
- Brazil + San Marino [BBC], Argentina + Australia [Eurosport]
- Reviews - FIA & Eurosport
- Spain Quali 1 [Eurosport] + Monaco Quali [Currently downloading, Eurosport]
- Plus I've got a few random ITV F1 things from 2001 and '02 on my USB stick! Brazil I'm probably going to take to FAC considering it's had a good few peer reviews, Europe will be going back to PR and I'll work on... something shortly. I'm making my mind up. ;) [add to the above a Damon Hill book] D.M.N. (talk) 17:49, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Looking back over the Brazil PR, I noticed this comment of yours: "I bought the 1995 F1 season preview issue of Autosport two days ago on eBay, which should explicitly state each driver's chances going into the season. Remind me to check the magazine when it arrives!--Midgrid(talk) 14:35, 26 May 2009 (UTC)" - any chance you could have a quick look at the preview issue at some point and add a bit? ;-) D.M.N. (talk) 09:13, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for that. ;) I've left a comment on Brazil talk re. fuel rigs. D.M.N. (talk) 19:35, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Article of the month - 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.

Article of the month - 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.

Hey man, apologies for the rushed sendout for the latest Newsletter. I only remember that it was an August 3 sendout at like eleven o'clock. My bad for that. I was hoping you could do me a favour if you're not busy...I was hoping that your vast copyediting skills could come into play for the article. User:Bretonbanquet helped out for the majority of it, but we were hoping for a third set of eyes to pass over the article.
Hope you can help. Regards. Cs-wolves(talk) 22:09, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
- Ta much for doing that. Some of the text had been there before I got to work to it, and kinda mistakenly left it in. I'll get round to introducing the changes to the article. Cs-wolves(talk) 21:26, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
- On another point, I'll make the changes to the article then strike them off on the talk page. That way then you can check it more efficiently. Regards. Cs-wolves(talk) 21:57, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Just to let you know that your photo of Patrick Watts actually appears to be of Tim Harvey. It looks like it says "Harvey" in the rear side window of the car. Also, the "leave a message" link at the top of this page creates a new message on your old user talk page rather than this one. Cordless Larry (talk) 13:20, 31 August 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.

Re: 1995 British Grand Prix - Peer review
I have replied to you comments on the PR page. The images are fine, obviously they are not particularly high quality, but work at the size they are displayed at on the page. The only thing I would say is that the Montermini spin image doesn't really work at the size it is currently displayed at; you can't really see it. That infobox image still needs sorting, but apart from that, fantastic article! Good luck with it. Darth Newdar talk 15:28, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
2009 Singapore Grand Prix
That race report was really good, anything better than I could do. It would be very helpful if you could do this for every race. (Although there are only 3 races left) lol. I usually do the Practice and Qualifying Reports but can never really word the race section and would be great if you could do this. Thanks --Troggy3112 (talk) 20:33, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Article of the month - 1995 British Grand Prix, currently listed for a Peer Review.
 The 1995 British Grand Prix (formally the XLVIII British Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on July 16, 1995 at Silverstone Circuit, Silverstone, Northamptonshire, England. It was the eighth round of the 1995 Formula One season. The race, contested over 61 laps, was won by Johnny Herbert for the Benetton team after starting from fifth position. Jean Alesi finished second in a Ferrari, with David Coulthard third in a Williams car. Herbert's victory was his first in Formula One, and the Benetton team's fifth of the season. The race was dominated, however, by the fight between championship protagonists Michael Schumacher (Benetton) and Damon Hill (Williams). Hill, who started from pole position, retained his lead during the opening stages of the race whilst Schumacher, who started alongside him on the grid, fell behind Alesi in the run to the first corner. Despite being held up behind the slower Ferrari until it pitted, Schumacher used a more favourable one-stop strategy to move ahead of Hill, who made two pit stops for fuel and tyres, on lap 41. Four laps later, Hill attempted to pass Schumacher, but the two collided and were forced to retire from the race. This promoted the battling Herbert and Coulthard into the fight for the lead. Coulthard passed Herbert, but dropped back to third after incurring a stop-go penalty for speeding in the pit lane.

Ericsson, Bird and Bianchi - ART GP2 Asia lineup
Hi there. Your help is needed here, with regards to the Autosport story detailing Marcus Ericsson's place in the ART Grand Prix lineup for GP2 Asia. Thanks - mspete93 [talk] 12:26, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
GP2 Asia codes
Just wanted to get your thoughts on User:Cybervoron's changes to the GP2 Asia Series season articles, changing such UAE codes to ARE. I wanted to get another person's thoughts on, because I'm unsure how to appreciate these changes; whether they are insightful or not... ISO codes is his reasoning. Cs-wolves(talk) 18:31, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
- I might just do that because he is changing them without prior consensus; and as you say, they are messing with the format. See, I've been using them all the time but another user thinks they can come in and change it. Righto, better put that on the talk page. Cs-wolves(talk) 20:59, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
