- Help clean-up articles listed here.
Featured content
- For All Featured content on Wikipedia, see Wikipedia:Featured content
Some of the content supported by WikiProject Formula One has reached featured article, featured list or featured picture status (FA, FL and FP, respectively), meaning they are amongst the very best content in Wikipedia. They are listed below; a bold title indicates the article was "today's featured article" for the date listed. Also included here are articles that are either featured article candidates (FAC), FAC's that failed, those that have undergone peer review (PR) as part of an effort to get them to FA status, and those that have achieved good article (GA) status, the next-highest level of quality.

Types of articles
Formula One and its series
| Formula One |
|---|
The sport's primary article is the "top" article of a series which includes five other related topics. The Wikipedians who created these articles intended to divide the topic of Formula One into specific subtopics, and chose the five topics they thought would best accomplish this goal. The appropriateness of the subtopics is open to discussion.
All six articles should include the template {{Formula One}} at the top.
- Formula One is the main article for the sport, including general information; summaries of the articles on history, cars, and racing; general sections on drivers/constructors, grands prix, and circuits; a section noting the important people in F1's history; a 2004 season section; and a section on the Future of F1.
- History of Formula One - the sport's history, in detail. This should include major regulation changes, major technical advances, and the most important drivers and constructors of each era.
- Formula One cars - a detailed description of the modern F1 car. Information about historical F1 cars belongs in the History article.
- Formula One racing - the schedule and procedure of an F1 grand prix weekend; information about racing strategy.
- Formula One regulations - both current and historical information on the FIA's technical and sporting regulations.
- Future of Formula One - a look at proposed changes to the sport and new regulations for future seasons.
Lists
There are thirteen Formula One-related lists. These should be historically complete, and include the template {{Formula One}}. Each, when updated, should also be marked "Accurate as of [date]" in order to assist future editors.
- List of Formula One drivers
- List of Formula One constructors
- List of Formula One World Champions
- List of Formula One Grands Prix - The races on this list should match those listed on Template:Formula One races.
- List of Formula One circuits
- List of Formula One people
- List of Formula One records
- List of Formula One engines
- List of Formula One World Championship pointscoring systems
- List of Formula One fatal accidents
- List of Formula One broadcasters
Race reports
A long-term goal of this project is to create articles containing a summary of every Formula One race since the sport's inception in 1950.
Thanks to a bot written by Bill Cook, articles containing full classifications of every past race now exist, but most need summaries and many need standardization.
The standard structure may be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Formula One/Example race report. The wikitext is annotated with comments and may be copied to assist with the creation of a new report.
The infobox templates to use for race report articles is {{Infobox Grand Prix race report}}, which caters for both Championship and non-Championship races. A cut and paste pro forma is available at the template doc page.
Seasons
All season summary articles contain, as a minimum:
- an overview of the season
- a Drivers' Championship table
- a Constructors' Championship table (from 1958 onwards)
Articles for more recent season contain additional information. As a general rule, the current season article is in the "ideal" format; future season summary articles should use the same format.
Grands Prix
There should be a complete article on every race which has been a part of the Formula One calendar since the series started in 1950 (see List of Formula One Grands Prix). Each article should contain:
- At the top, an infobox:
{{F1 race
|Name = [[Australia]]n Grand Prix
|Flag = Flag of Australia.svg
|Circuit = [[Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit]]
|Circuit_image = Circuit Albert Park.png
|Laps = 58
|Circuit_length_km = 5.303
|Circuit_length_mi = 3.295
|Race_length_km = 307.574
|Race_length_mi = 191.110
|Lap_record = 1:24.125 ([[2004 Formula One season|2004]]) <br> {{flagicon|Germany}} [[Michael Schumacher]]
|Most_wins_driver = {{flagicon|Australia}} [[Lex Davison]](non championship races) (4)<br/>{{flagicon|Germany}} [[Michael Schumacher]] (4)
|Most_wins_constructor = {{flagicon|ITA}} [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]] (10) <br />{{flagicon|UK}} [[McLaren]] (10)
|Current_year = 2008
|Winner = {{flagicon|UK}} [[Lewis Hamilton]]
|Winning_team = [[McLaren]]-[[Mercedes-Benz|Mercedes]]
|Winning_time = 1:34:50.616 (194.578 km/h)
|Pole_driver = {{flagicon|UK}} [[Lewis Hamilton]]
|Pole_team = [[McLaren]]-[[Mercedes-Benz|Mercedes]]
|Pole_time = 1:26.714
|Fastest_lap_driver = {{flagicon|Finland}} [[Heikki Kovalainen]]
|Fastest_lap_team = [[McLaren]]-[[Mercedes-Benz|Mercedes]]
|Fastest_lap = 1:27.418
}}- History. This should cover all F1 races held under that name, and should note changes in venue, and the reasons for the change. The history should also cover races from other series held under the same name, if applicable.
- A reverse-chronological list of winners in table format, including year, driver, constructor, location, and links to the relevant race reports, formatted thus:
| Year | Driver | Constructor | Location | Report |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2005 | Giancarlo Fisichella | Renault | Melbourne | Report |
| 2004 | Michael Schumacher | Ferrari | Melbourne | Report |
{| class="wikitable" style="font-size: 95%;"
|-
! Year
! Driver
! Constructor
! Location
! Report
|-
! [[2005 Formula One season|2005]]
| [[Giancarlo Fisichella]]
| [[Renault Sport|Renault]]
| [[Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit|Melbourne]]
| [[2005 Australian Grand Prix|Report]]
|-
! [[2004 Formula One season|2004]]
| [[Michael Schumacher]]
| [[Ferrari]]
| [[Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit|Melbourne]]
| [[2004 Australian Grand Prix|Report]]
|}- If a grand prix was only run once, there need not be a table of winners; instead, the race report article should redirect to the race's article, and the article should be structured like a race report.
- If a grand prix was run as a non-Championship event in some years (e.g. Moroccan Grand Prix), then those years should be highlighted in pink in the results chart.
- At the bottom, the template {{Formula One races}}.
- All articles on F1 grands prix should be also part of Category:Formula One Grands Prix.
Circuits
- All F1 circuit articles (i.e. any circuit ever used for an F1 race) should include an infobox:
{{Motorsport venue
| Name = Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit |
Location = [[Albert Park]], [[Melbourne]], [[Australia]]
| Time = [[GMT]] +/- 00
| Image = [[Image:Australiagprix.png|230px]]
| Events = [[Formula One]]; [[V8 Supercar]]s; [[Carrera Cup]]; [[Formula Ford]]
| Length_km = 5.30
| Length_mi = 3.30
| Turns = 16
| Record_time = 1'24.125
| Record_driver = [[Michael Schumacher]]
| Record_team = [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]]
| Record_year = [[2004]]
}}- All articles on F1 circuits should be also part of Category:Formula One circuits.
Drivers
- All articles on F1 drivers should be part of the relevant national subcategory of Category:Formula One drivers and should contain the infobox, {{Infobox F1 driver}}.
- Example of {{Infobox F1 driver}} from Fernando Alonso:

}}For an unformatted, cut-and-paste pro forma, please see this template's doc page. For Formula One articles, most details should be available. Otherwise simply leave blank any unknown fields and enter n/a for irrelevant or highly variable fields. Many customer cars will have had highly variable set up, I would suggest using either the most common configuration (if such a thing exists) or simply stating a brief range of options in lieu of precise specifications.

Updating
Since Formula One is a constantly-changing subject, its pages need constant updating. The following guidelines should help when updating F1-related articles.
After a race
- Update the race report, e.g. 2008 Australian Grand Prix
- Update the relevant race article, e.g. Australian Grand Prix:
- Update the "Winners By Year" table
- Update the "Multiple Winners" tables, if required
- Update the "Last race" details in the info box
- Update the current season article, i.e. 2024 Formula One season:
- Update the tables in the "Results and standings" section
- Update the articles for all participating drivers:
- Update the infobox (update "Races" and "Latest race" for all drivers, plus other fields as appropriate)
- Update the "Career summary" table
- Update the "Complete Formula One results" table
- Update the "Records" section (if there is one), if required. Specifically:
- Update Kimi Räikkönen#Formula One records and achievements if Räikkönen set fastest lap
- Update Nick Heidfeld#Formula One records
- Update the articles for all participating teams:
- Update the infobox (update "Races competed" and "Latest race" for all teams, plus other fields as appropriate)
