Hello. I was keeping an eye on this nomination. As the previous review was deleted, I would like to review this article. Please note that I have not reviewed a F1 race before at GA, so I might make some mistakes. If there is any issues in regards to terminology/sourcing please let me know! It'll help me out if I choose to review F1 races in the future. If you have any comments/concerns, feel free to ping me here in this review. I'll be breaking this article up into sections as it's long and there's no way I can do it all in one session and not burn myself out.


### Lead Y
"and he maintained it until his first pit stop on the 17th lap" ->  "and he maintained it until his first pit stop on the 18th lap"Y
Done MWright96 (talk) 21:06, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
Not sure if this would confuse people as the infobox says Rosberg held the lead from 1-17. I assume the only lap leads included are full laps?Y
That is correct. MWright96 (talk) 21:06, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
"Rosberg retook it from his teammate Hamilton on lap 19 until kinetic motor–generator unit failures slowed both Mercedes from lap 35." - this sentence sounds like Rosberg lost the lead at lap 35, but that's not the case. He kept lead after the engine failures and lost the lead with his lap 44 pit stop. So I assume technically he had the lead until lap 43 with full laps.Y
Reworded MWright96 (talk) 21:06, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
Also, this contradicts Race paragraph 5, as the failures were from 37 to 38 according to the racing production. Therefore, Race P5 has to be adjusted with a source that shows these laps as well.Y
See above response MWright96 (talk) 21:06, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
"He retained it by responding to the pace of Force India's Sergio Pérez as a preventive measure to stop Pérez using his drag reduction system." - nope. This came after Massa pitted on lap 48, making this not relevant.Y
Removed MWright96 (talk) 21:06, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
The infobox says Rosberg did get the lead back at lap 48. With the racing production, it shows that Massa did enter the pits at the end of 48. So only laps 46-47 are counted for Massa?Y
Yes, because the Williams garage at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve was located before the start/finish line. MWright96 (talk) 21:06, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
"Ricciardo's victory advanced him to third, demoting Fernando Alonso of Ferrari to fourth and Vettel was elevated to fifth." -> "Ricciardo's victory advanced him to third, demoted Fernando Alonso of Ferrari to fourth and elevated Vettel to fifth."Y
Done MWright96 (talk) 21:06, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
"Ferrari, McLaren and Force India all maintained third to fifth" -> "Ferrari, Force India and McLaren all maintained third to fifth"Y
Done MWright96 (talk) 21:06, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
Parts I think should be added to the paragraphs:
Hamilton's lead from 44 to 45 and Massa's lead from lap 46 to 47. You could merge them in between Rosberg losing the lead at 43/44 and getting it back at 48.Y

### Infobox
In regards to F1 Racing, I'm not 100% sure if I have the right edition. I've downloaded a copy from GaleGroup, but this page range seems to have two separate articles. Fortune favours the brave by James Robert is from 136-137 while Canadian Grand Prix stats: the lowdown on everything you need to know from the weekend at Montreal is on page 138. Could you check whether this is indeed the same version as the one you have cited?
Yes the print magazine has the same page numbers as the GaleGroup copy. MWright96 (talk) 20:56, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
Source needed that states the track was a street circuit.Y
Added. MWright96 (talk) 20:56, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
There's some mixed reviews on whether Bleacher Report is reliable or not. You might want to swap this source out just in case. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 21:27, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
I see you replaced it with BBC. Works for me. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:16, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
305.270 km rounded is 189.686 miles, not 187.700 if you're keeping the three decimal points (i think).Y
Changed. MWright96 (talk) 20:56, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
Farmer's Alamanc doesn't state it was "sunny and hot". Rest is verified.Y
Removed. MWright96 (talk) 20:56, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
Side note question: what does the purple bar mean in the lap leaders section? Green/yellow are obvious,Y
They are in different colours to denote the individual drivers; purple in this case is for Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo for the three laps he led. MWright96 (talk) 20:56, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
I see. I thought it was referring to the flag colours. I haven't seen a purple one before, so I thought it meant a purple flag lol! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 21:27, 9 January 2020 (UTC)


### Background
#### P1 Y
"seventh of nineteen scheduled single seater races of the 2014 Formula One World Championship" - FIA doesn't state that there were 19 races in the season, nor that the races were single seaters. Extra source needed/new source needed as it does state it would be race 7.Y
Done. MWright96 (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
I see you verified 19 and dropped single seaters. Good compromise! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:00, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
"It was held at the 14-turn 4.361 km (2.710 mi) Circuit Gilles Villeneuve" - all confirmed excepted 14 turns. Extra source needed.Y
Removed 14-turn because of conflicting information I've come across. MWright96 (talk) 08:36, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
Never mind strike that. Have found a source to back that claim up. MWright96 (talk) 08:47, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
"Tyre supplier Pirelli brought the yellow-banded soft "prime" compound and the red-banded supersoft "option" compound tyres to the race" - page 138 (which is a different article titled Canadian Grand Prix Stats) doesn't say which one is prime or option. But F1 Racing does have soft/supersoft and the colors.Y
Added another source to verify the information. MWright96 (talk) 06:46, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
Added FIA regs source. MWright96 (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
Now this one is a problem. FIA does have prime/option, and F1 Racing does have red/yellow and supersoft/soft. But, FIA doesn't specify which colors are prime/option nor which one is soft or supersoft. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:00, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
Added another source. MWright96 (talk) 09:08, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
Okay. But this source doesn't have "prime" or "option". As it's similar to F1 Racing (confirming that yellow soft and red supersoft would be used), you could drop "prime/option" and remove the FIA source, or switch one of these sources that confirms yellow soft is prime, and red supersoft is optional. With the sources, it doesn't connect which color is prime and which one is optional. So, I don't mind whether you choose to find one that verifies or drop the unverifed parts. Y --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 00:49, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
Reworded to omit "prime" and "option" and removed the FIA regs source. MWright96 (talk) 08:00, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
I'm not sure about if Pirelli "brought" the tires to the race, more like they were the sponsor of the tires.Y
Pirelli are the manufacturer and the one who shipped tyres to the races. MWright96 (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
Your addition of the FIA regulations does clear up if they brought it per allocation. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:00, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
Also, F1 Racing said green banded intermediate tires and blue banded wet tires were used as well.Y
The source actually has them darkened to tell readers that they were brought to the race and were not used at all. MWright96 (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
Okay. Fair enough. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:00, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
"Casino Straight linking turns 11 and 12" - NBC Sports calls it a main straight, not Casino straight.Y
Reworded. MWright96 (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
"and the second was on the straight between the final and first corners." - the second straight was from turn thirteen to turn one. As the track has fourteen turns, thirteen wouldn't be the final turn.Y
Changed wording. MWright96 (talk) 06:46, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
It should be 13th and first corners, not 14th --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:17, 10 January 2020 (UTC)Y
"gravel to the left of the L'Epingle hairpin and turn 13" - FIA doesn't give the unique name of L'Epingle hairpin, just turn 10.Y
Changed. MWright96 (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
Also, FIA isn't specific if it was left/right, just that it was away from it. Same with the turn 13 barrier not mentioning left.Y
Removed. MWright96 (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
I see "left" mentioned in the turn 10 spot that needs removal. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:17, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
Replaced with outside per FIA source MWright96 (talk) 09:08, 11 January 2020 (UTC)Y


#### P2 Y
"After winning the Monaco Grand Prix two weeks earlier," - FIA points breakdown doesn't have when Monaco was held.Y
Reworded. MWright96 (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
"was seven points behind him in the battle for the position." - I recommend using another word for "battle" for neturality.Y
Dropped. MWright96 (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
"and Red Bull were second with 99 points" -> and Red Bull was second with 99 pointsY
Changed. MWright96 (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
"Ferrari (78 points) and Force India (67 points)" - I recommend removing the brackets for flow purposes while making sure it sounds right grammatically.Y --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:22, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
Changed. MWright96 (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
Now I realize this sounds odd with "and" multiple times. I think McClaren should be a separate sentence. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 21:41, 10 January 2020 (UTC)Y
Done MWright96 (talk) 09:08, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
Thank you. I know it's a minor point.


#### P3 Y
"Rosberg regained the Drivers' Championship lead with a win at Monaco;" - Guardian says Rosberg's win had Hamilton lose the number one spot for the championship, but doesn't state Rosberg had already led the championship once before Monaco.Y
Reworded. MWright96 (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
"after the latter suspected Rosberg had wilfully went off the track in qualifying to prevent him taking pole position." - While Guardian does say Hamilton felt Rosberg prevented him from taking pole position, it doesn't mention Rosberg going off the track deliberately.Y
Removed. MWright96 (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
I should have been specific. The Guardian also doesn't mention any event of going off the track in qualifying at all. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:09, 10 January 2020 (UTC)Y
Changed MWright96 (talk) 09:08, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
"Both drivers spoke to each other four days before the event" - "four days" is a bit too much detailed and not confirmed. Although it does say it happened Wednesday, Guardian doesn't say the race would be held Sunday. So I suggest dropping "four days" only.Y
Removed. MWright96 (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
"acknowledged contact between him and Hamilton would harm his team's interests" - yes, but this isn't related to the quoted part. That part comes before "It's a tiny bit more caution" further down the page, so I recoomend just removing this part as it's not related.Y
Removed. MWright96 (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
The quote isn't about their contact between each other. It's about their friendship/relationship with each other per "Asked if he was still surprised to hear Hamilton describe them as 'friends'" part. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:13, 10 January 2020 (UTC)Y
Reworded MWright96 (talk) 09:08, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
Nice rewording! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:19, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
"and was un-surprised tensions emerged early in the season," - sorta. The previous tensions were about their previous relationship while they were karting together. But this appears before the "I didn't see it as too unusual," quote, which isn't part of the "We're fighting every single race weekend" part. So this part should be removed as well.Y
Removed. MWright96 (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
"Hamilton had won in Canada three times (in 2007, 2010 and 2012)" - I suggest rewriting this part to avoid the brackets.Y
Done. MWright96 (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
"Renault and Ferrari would have to have done an exceptional job" - Almost. The Montreal Gazette quote says "“Renault (Red Bull’s power-plant supplier) and Ferrari would have to have done an exceptional job" with the brackets included in this case.Y
Added brackets. MWright96 (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)


#### P4 Y
"In technical developments, Mercedes installed fins and turning vanes...less drag to the inside of the front wheel." - I suggest two sentences for grammar.Y
Done. MWright96 (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
"front wishbone on its lower front suspension" -> "lower front wishbone on its front suspension"Y
Done. MWright96 (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
"Toro Rosso manufactured new exhaust systems" - close paraphrasing. If "manufactured" was reworded, this'll pass limited wording as the rest can't be changed.Y
Changed to built. MWright96 (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
"systems for their two STR9s following the development of fractures" - Autosport isn't specific on the type of cars for Toro Russo. Rest of the sentence is confirmed.Y
Removed. MWright96 (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
"Williams mounted a duct over the top of its brake discs" - yep, and this is specifically for their FW36. As you've mentioned the specifc engines before for other manufactuers, I think this one should be added too for consistency.Y
Done. MWright96 (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
"and featured longer sidepods to better cool the F14 T and removed downforce." - this needs a grammar tweak as it has "and" twice.Y
Reworded. MWright96 (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
"McLaren used a rear suspension element to improve the diffuser's performance." - McLaren didn't improve the diffuser's performance. They used one rear suspension blocker instead of two in the practice.
per the Williams suggestion, I suggestion stating McLaren used it for the MP4-29.Y
--MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 02:23, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

Changed wording. MWright96 (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
"McLaren used a rear suspension blocker to replace some downforce lost and include drag on the MP4-29 with the lower rear wing's removal" - I think the "and include drag" is out of sequence. McLaren didn't use the blocker to include drag, the blocker replaces downforce at the cost of including drag. So i think "and include drag" needs to be put at the end of the sentence and reworded a bit. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:03, 10 January 2020 (UTC){{tick}
Reworded MWright96 (talk) 09:08, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

That's strange with the inconsistency. If you want to keep the lowercase pit lane, I suggest either summarizing the source to avoid the quote, or swapping the source with one that has lowercase letters. Whichever is easier for you. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 21:56, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Not 100% sure if "swarming" him is the same as challenging him. Maybe that can be confirmed with the above point.Y
See above response. MWright96 (talk) 11:05, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
"On the 66th lap, Ricciardo used DRS, and steered right to pass Pérez for second on the approach to turn one. An error put him onto the grass and maintained the left at Virage Senna corner. That caused Vettel to nearly hit Pérez's car in the subsequent concertina effect." - none of this verified by Autosport. As for Motorsport, it doesn't have a specific lap indicator (like 66 laps or four laps remaining). I think Autosport can be swapped for a source that does connect these events to lap 66.

"He went slightly to his left as Massa steered left in anticipation of holding the former to the right entering the first turn" - bit wordy and i think a tiny bit inaccurate.

This section will hopefully make it easier to know what's left to do in individual sections, especially if it's just one item left. I'll check them off/comment in the above sections. This spot is just a reminder:

Background P1: Either a source is needed to verify that yellow soft is "prime" and red supersoft is "option". Otherwise, both "prime" and "option" should be drop with an adjustment of refs.
Practice P1: 1) Exit needs to be dropped for Bianchi's collision with the wall, 2) pluralizing wheels for Hulkenberg's spin in the grass.
Practice P2: Either summarizing the ESPN source to avoid capitalizing Pit Lane or swapping source to match capitalizing of Pit Lane for Ricciardo's reprimand.
Practice P3: Reduce wordiness of the Esteban Gutiérrez redflagged sentence.

### Overall
@MWright96: Overall, this was a long article for me to review lol. In terms of criteria: has list of references, main aspects are covered, is stable, image licenses are fine, As for what needs to be adressed: minor points are some grammar, one source in particular needed to be swapped out (Bleacher Report) which you did, some unnecessary details are included (like the Sky Sports commentator being a former world champion), some words needed to be swapped out for neturality like "battle", a few of a captions need to be updated. Major points are with sources either not verifying any of the statement and require either source swapping or adjusted to match what the source states. Alternatively, some phrasing needed to be swapped in order to match the terminology of the sources (like straight instead of Casino Straight and hairpin instead of L'Epingle hairpin) I'll have to double check for words to watch and copyvio. As you've gone through a lot of it already, plus I have to recheck the ones you have done before this overall review, I'll put this on hold for a week then recheck your progress. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 19:54, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

@MWright96: As of now, there's some assorted stuff leftover from Race paragraphs P6-P8. You might have noticed that I haven't been reviewing as much as before. I've been getting tired of GA reviewing overall, but this is none of your fault. I'll most likely take a break from reviewing after finishing my already open ones. Also, I haven't been on Wikipedia as much this week partially to my work schedule, but also because I've been spending less time on Wikipedia with my spare time this week as well. However, my next week's schedule will provide me with more spare time than now. With the amount of stuff that's left over, I think this could be finished very quickly. P.S. you might have seen that this article is still marked as on review. Technically, it should be on hold as I was reviewing your initial edits on Jan 15th but I forgot to change it over. Therefore, it's been 2 weeks since it would have been on hold. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 03:55, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
