F190 or L190?

This article currently refers to the Life chassis as both the "F190" and the "L190". There's also inconsistency between other articles which refer to the car:

First Racing, 1990 San Marino Grand Prix and Formula One sponsorship liveries refer to the "L190", whereas
1990 Portuguese Grand Prix and Paulo Carcasci refer to the "F190".

I'm aware that external sources are divided on the issue:

FORIX (subscription site), F1technical.net, histomobile and ChicaneF1 say "F190", whereas
StatsF1 says "L190"

but I think we should select one form and use it consistently throughout Wikipedia. Thoughts? DH85868993 (talk) 11:14, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Despite the ref to Small 1994 in the article, showing F190 (the refs appear to relate to the table) the book actually says L190 on all pages mentioned. Motor Sport (magazine), here & here (both Jenks) confusingly call it Life RE. Ultimate car page, here calls it L190 and a quick google for just 'Life 190' brings up results for L190 (with some for F190). I would suggest that L190 is in more common usage.

I've moved the detached ref into a source row, but haven't changed the chassis desig. pending discussion. Eagleash (talk) 14:27, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
