1968 South African GP edit
I noticed that you requested assessment for this article and are hoping to promote it to start-class. I was assessing the article and I think that it sits somewhere between start and stub-class. I'm still promoting it to start class, but I feel that you should add a little more prose in order to fully meet the requirement. Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

1950 Non-championship races edit
Hi there, great work on creating the articles for these races - you're basically doing the bit I don't like doing! I'm adding results tables for the articles as you go, I hope that's okay with you. I thought I'd write and go through the list of races for 1950 to make sure we're on the same page as regards the order and the titles of the races. Silhouet sometimes doesn't anglicise the names of the races, whereas most other sources do. We've anglicised all the WDC events so we should anglicise the N-C ones too, though sometimes it's not possible.
- 1950 Pau Grand Prix
- 1950 Richmond Trophy
- 1950 San Remo Grand Prix
- 1950 Paris Grand Prix
- 1950 British Empire Trophy
- 1950 Bari Grand Prix
- 1950 Jersey Road Race
- 1950 Albi Grand Prix
- 1950 Dutch Grand Prix
- 1950 Grand Prix des Nations
- 1950 Nottingham Trophy
- 1950 Ulster Trophy
- 1950 Circuito de Pescara
- 1950 Sheffield Telegraph Trophy
- 1950 BRDC International Trophy
- 1950 Goodwood Trophy
- 1950 Penya Rhin Grand Prix
Of the non-anglicised ones, "Nations Grand Prix" doesn't make sense in English and you never see it used, and "Circuito de Pescara" is the established name for the Pescara race. For the 1957 event which was a WDC race, it's usually down as "1957 Pescara Grand Prix" but the earlier ones were not called Grands Prix as such. Any thoughts or ideas, please let me know and we'll figure it out together. Seems like it's basically just us doing this! Bretonbanquet (talk) 18:19, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- The thing is, none of the sources we use call it "Nations Grand Prix" and we need to be consistent with at least some of the sources. We might be guilty of inventing a name for something that was never used. "Nations Grand Prix" is also the name of a motorbike race, and that name usually was translated into English. As for Pescara Grand Prix, the article explains how the name of the event changed over the years, and that the Gran Premio title was not used until later - in this case oldracingcars.com is wrong. This is the problem with these old races, the sources don't always agree and some of them are not correct. We could take these to the wikiproject if you think we need some more input.
- The length of the circuits is another problem - some of them changed quite a bit, particularly those which used public roads. I find Silhouet to be pretty consistent with my other sources - books etc - and that's the one I usually use, plus it's easily verifiable there as it's shown together with the results of the actual race we're describing. Again, the Wikiproject might have more ideas.
- There's no hurry to get these done so just do some as and when you get the time. Don't neglect the more important stuff! Besides, when we get to 1952, it's going to get very complicated as there were no F1 races as such, just F2, and there were a LOT of F2 races back then. I'm not even sure all of them are notable enough. Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:53, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- I also see that the Grand Prix des Nations was named after the Circuit des Nations, rather than "Nations" in general, making "Nations Grand Prix" rather nonsensical. However, Readro created an article for the 1946 race, and called it the 1946 Nations Grand Prix, so he might be someone to talk to. I do quite strongly disagree with this title though.

Article of the month - 2008 Chinese Grand Prix, new Good Article
 The 2008 Chinese Grand Prix (formally the V Sinopec Chinese Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on October 19, 2008 at the Shanghai International Circuit, Shanghai, China. It was the 17th and penultimate race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 56 laps, was won by Lewis Hamilton for the McLaren team after starting from pole position. Ferrari driver Felipe Massa finished second, and Kimi Räikkönen was third in the other Ferrari. Hamilton, the eventual Drivers' Champion, led the Championship going into the race, and started from pole position alongside Räikkönen. Second in the Drivers' Championship, Massa began from third, next to Fernando Alonso of Renault. The first three drivers retained their positions into the first corner, but Alonso was passed by Hamilton's McLaren teammate Heikki Kovalainen. However, Alonso was able to regain the place midway through the first lap. Over the course of the race, Hamilton extended a considerable lead over the two Ferraris. Massa passed Räikkönen with seven laps remaining, to improve his chances of surpassing Hamilton's points tally at the final race in Brazil. The result extended Ferrari's lead over McLaren in the Constructors' Championship from seven to 11 points. Third-placed in the Drivers' Championship, Robert Kubica's sixth place at the Grand Prix eliminated his hopes of winning the Championship, and reduced his lead over fourth-placed Räikkönen to six points.

Article of the month - 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.

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.

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.
