Most of the race summaries, particularly the most recent one for Fontana, are looking seriously biased in their writing and language. Can we work to ensure that these summaries are 1) short, and 2) written from a neutral point of view?

... careful what you ask. Do you want cold, brutal neutrality? Or, is it the pretense of neutrality you crave, laden flowing, flowery euphemisms summed up in an anesthetized sound byte, shielding you from the stark, cold wet towel of naked reality? No gentle way of putting this, round 11 of the 2015 Indycar season wasn't merely a disaster. Heavily choreographed, it should be summarized as such. If you wish me to cease and desist in writing these race summaries, just say so. I'm happy to go away; leave you as I found you.

At the risk of being really obvious. If we don't know who will be in KV's 2nd car and indeed right now don't even know if there will be one. How do we know it'll carry #4? Duds 2k (talk) 21:50, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Round column

Why is the round column already filled up until the end of the season? That's a gross violation of WP:Crystal. We can't claim for sure that any of these drivers will drive in all of the races. They can be forced to miss one or more due to any sort of reason (e.g. injury). Only rounds (i.e. 1) they have actually competed in should be credited at this point.

Indycar teams publish their entry list and they always say which driver will drive in which races. If a driver gets injured then we could change their rounds column. Do we really need to make an issue out of this "little column" nonsense? Sabbatino (talk) 17:50, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
