Formula One record

His Formula One statistics clearly show that not only did he never win any races as it incorrectly states in his bio, but also that he never finished a race either. I recommend that the section be completely revised. He did not finish or win any races in his F1 career. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Old General (talk • contribs) 12:04, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He didn't win (or finish) any World Championship F1 races, but he did win races in the South African Formula One Championship. The infobox and results table only relate to his career in World Championship races. DH85868993 (talk) 12:38, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Flag

Any particular reason why the old flag of South Africa should appear next to the nationality? As far as I'm aware, a contemporary flag can be used instead of the current flag for date and place of birth, but in this case, it's not the place of birth this flag is depicting, but rather the nationality.George Adam Horváth (talk) 20:09, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's because it's a Formula One infobox, and that was the flag he raced under while he was in Formula One. Any other infobox can use the new flag if desired. Bretonbanquet (talk) 20:20, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Killers found?

Have the people who attacked him and killed his wife years ago, or the people who murdered him, ever been caught? If so, what happened? Nietzsche 2 (talk) 23:53, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In what way was he murdered?

Shot? Stabbed? Beaten? Nietzsche 2 (talk) 17:19, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
