F1 car modifications following Billy Monger's accident

Apparently some F1 cars were modified following Billy Monger's F4 accident at Donington. Worth mentioning in the article? Mjroots (talk) 21:37, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Test drivers in season articles

A few months ago, I put forward a proposal that season articles should be renamed as their content only reflected the championship. The proposal was rejected on the grounds that the articles addressed everything that happened in the season, even if the only racing was the World Championship.

Overnight, I added all of the drivers who took part in the post-Hungary test, but @Tvx1 has since reverted them. My case for including them is as follows:

  1. The test is sanctioned by the FIA. The rules introduced a few years ago designed to crack down on illegal testing classified cars as "current" or "historic". Using current cars requires FIA approval.
  2. The teams used the test to develop new parts, just as they did with pre-season testing. This was not an event for show by any means. Even if the teams used rookie drivers, that was an initiative set up by the FIA to encourage participation.
  3. We already include details of FP1 drivers in articles, even if FP1 is not competitive the way qualifying or a race is. Test drivers are no different—they take place in FIA-approved sessions outside competition.
  4. We have previoisly included details of testing in the prose of articles.
  5. Articles of drivers involved (for example, Lando Norris) contain details of their taking part.

Therefore, I think we can conclude that test sessions constitute part of the wider season, and thus drivers who took part should be included in the article. If not, then the article is not a "season" article and should be moved as it only focuses on the events of the championship. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 00:45, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like your edits were quite POINTy then. May propose that a discussion on this subject on is initiated on WT:F1. This issue affects multiple articles, so it's better discuss this at project level.Tvx1 10:49, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Tvx1 — not POINTy at all. We've defined the scope of the article, but the content does not sustain it. So do we redefine the scope or the content? Given the response a few months ago, I'd say redefining the content is more likely. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 11:44, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Regardless, we should not be discussing this here. This affects multiple article, so it's better to discuss this at the project. We're likely to get more input there as well.Tvx1 12:12, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

I just noticed that Carlos Sainz's tenth place should be green and not blue. Regards!
