Last race text in lead

Text in question: "This was the last race for both the Racing Point and Renault F1 teams as they would be renamed Aston Martin and Alpine for 2021 this was also the last race for Romain Grosjean, Kevin Magnussen and Daniil Kvyat."

Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section says that "The lead serves as an introduction to the article and a summary of its most important contents". It was not of massive importance to this race that it was (currently) the last race for 3 drivers, especially when none of the drivers are historically significant- none have won any races, yet alone championships. The lead is for a summary about the race, and the current lead complies to this, whereas the additions do not, in my opinion. The driver and team changes are dealt with at 2021 Formula One World Championship, and so don't need to be duplicated here, and certainly not in the lead. Thoughts?

Definietly agree that it shouldn't be in the lead. It may be worth considering adding it to the background section considering how long they have been in F1 (more than 100 races apiece). But I wouldn't feel strongly about it.

I agree per SSSB, the lead shouldn't really introduce any new information that isn't included in the article anyway. FozzieHey (talk) 21:14, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
