High

This article has been rated as High-importance on the project's importance scale.

Name of page

The current name of the article is Ferrari 156 Sharknose, but I believe we should use Ferrari 156 F1. The main article name should not be Ferrari 156 as there was also a Ferrari 156 F2 car which preceded the Ferrari 156 F1. What I propose is:

Ferrari 156 F1 - existing page renamed
Ferrari 156 - redirect page.
Ferrari 156 Sharknose - redirect page.

Does anyone object to this proposal? --Xagent86 (Talk | contribs) 02:56, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good to me. -- DH85868993 03:27, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at this some more, it's really only correct to call the 1961 Ferrari 156 a "Sharknose" as the 1963 car no longer had the "Sharknose", but was still a Ferrari 156 F1 car, so will move the page. --Xagent86 (Talk | contribs) 04:45, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Correction - it seems the "sharknose" design continued to be raced in 1962, but was replaced by a more conventional nose in 1963. In any case, "sharknose" doesn't cover all the Ferrari 156 F1 cars, so the page has been moved to Ferrari 156 F1. --Xagent86 (Talk | contribs) 05:44, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Possible copyright infringement

I've noticed some content in this article about "good Ferrari tradition" and "Chris Rea" and his "replica", that seems to be very close to what can be found on this Ultimatecarpage.com page. This would appear to contravene the Wikipedia copyright policy, which means that content should be either removed or rewritten. I haven't really had a close look, but at least two sentences would seem to be affected. --Xagent86 (Talk | contribs) 08:12, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ha ha ha! I'm sorry, but please just imagine the implications if an arrangement of three words, not even those making a complete sentence, could be protected under copyright.--Amedeo Felix (talk) 13:18, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

156s scrapped in 1963, won in 1964

I found a possible error in ths article. Look at these:

"The last victory for the Ferrari 156 was achieved by Italian Lorenzo Bandini in the 1964 Austrian Grand Prix."

vs.

"Unfortunately, then-Ferrari factory policy inevitably saw all the remaining sharknose 156s scrapped by the end of the 1963 season."

So how Bandini raced a 156 in the 1964 Austrian Grand Prix if there weren't any 156s after the 1963 season..?
