message: What was the justification for renaming? Grands Prix is the accepted plural of Grand Prix. -- Ian Dalziel 22:50, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

text: It doesn't seem to be correct in French - have a look at the corresponding page on fr.wiki, although it may have been before 1990 reforms. It certainly doesn't seem to be the proper English plural either, although all the commentators use it.LRT24 (talk) 07:59, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Continuing the tradition of late responses... There isn't any audible difference between "Grand Prix" and "Grands Prix", the "s" is silent. - Ian Dalziel (talk) 12:35, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: Your question is unclear: If you're asking "Why isn't the Monaco Grand Prix listed?" - it is. If you're asking "Why is it Monaco Grand Prix rather than Monegasque (or Monacan?) Grand Prix?" - the answer is that (as far as I'm aware) the event has always been referred to as the "Monaco Grand Prix". DH85868993 (talk) 02:31, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Partly to deal with the current ambiguity with flags, and partly as an attempt to bring this list to featured list status, I was wondering what the reception would be to a change in format along these lines? Thanks in advance, —WFC— 07:43, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  New format 

message: I suggest someone make a list of which grands prix were wet or dry. This could be on this page or a new one. A lot of people would be interested in this, I think. The simple version is to list the races which were declared wet. The other version I had in mind would have 5 categories: dry race, race mostly dry, race mostly wet, wet race (the whole time), and wet race where safety car was deployed or the race was red-flagged due to heavy rain (and not because of an accident). There are pages of each grand prix, some of them indicates if it was a wet race, but most of them don't, so I can't make a full list. For me, it would be enough to list the last 10-20 years.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dubfire (talk • contribs) 10:16, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: How would you define what races are mostly dry, and what are mostly wet? Where is your boundary? And why stop with just five categories? --Falcadore (talk) 12:08, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, maybe we don't need "mostly wet" and "mostly dry" categories, they can one category: races that were both wet and dry (drivers used both dry and wet tyres during the race). These 4 categories are sufficient, no need for more, even 2 categories would be satisfactory (dry/wet). Categories are not so important, the most important thing would be to gather the information about which races were wet (and how wet).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dubfire (talk • contribs) 12:38, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Or you could read the relevant race articles. Wikipedia isn't supposed to be collected lists of trivia. --Falcadore (talk) 13:28, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: This kind of thing has been discussed several times in the past: here, here, here, here and here, and historically there hasn't been a great deal of enthusiasm for it. DH85868993 (talk) 16:14, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

message: WHo thinks San Marino is in Italy, it is a separate country and therefore should not be counted in the Italian section, please remove and recalculate the number of races actually held in Italy  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.15.153.212 (talk) 13:39, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem with that arguement is that the San Marino Grand Prix has never been held in San Marino. It has always been held in Italy. The fact that San Marino is a separate country is essentially irrelevant. To suggest those races were actually held in San Marino is a complete falsehood. --Falcadore (talk) 13:45, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Does this article really need the "By venue" section? Virtually the same information is presented at List of Formula One circuits. DH85868993 (talk) 11:45, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  By venue section 

message: Would it be possible to take the races by season section, add in a detail for the winner of each race, and create a new page, so that viewers could plot driver's careers and rivalries more easily. 86.175.43.13 (talk) 09:12, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: That is not really in the scope of this article. It would also blow out the size of this article considerably. --Falcadore (talk) 14:57, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Add in race winners / new page? 

message: It mentions in the lead section of the article that a race needs to be at least 300km in distance to be entitled a GP. I am very confused by this, considering the current Monaco Grand Prix is only 260.5 km in distance - it has been this way (78 laps) for decades. It seems contradictory to me, to have the Monaco GP listed so many times in the article, with this in the lead section. There are also no references to back this up, and I notice it has now been marked as dubious.
Would anyone disagree with me removing this? Bigdon128 (talk) 17:49, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: No, because it is correct. Monaco is just granted an exemption from the rule. It's been often quoted, particularly by Martin Brundle in telecasts that races go one lap beyond 300 km. Finding a reference to back this up should be easy. --Falcadore (talk) 23:06, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

message: Can I request a clarification on the total number of Grands Prix that have taken place.  The article intro says 855, yet each of the three main tables, as well as the season tables, totals up to 856.  Seems like someone missed one, no big deal.  But the List of Formula One Grand Prix winners totals up to 859.  No way 856 races were won 859 times.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.110.188.72 (talk) 18:58, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It actually does, because in the 1950s it was possible for two drivers to share the same car. I refer you to the 1957 British Grand Prix and the 1955 Argentine Grand Prix as examples. --Falcadore (talk) 20:59, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

message: How come in 1992 and 2000 the San Marino Grand Prix has the Italian flag and all the other years it has the San Marino flag? Mobile mundo (talk) 20:19, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I've changed the flags for 1992 and 2000 to match the others. Noting that this article does not follow the general WP:F1 convention of using the flagicon of the country in which the circuit is located. DH85868993 (talk) 20:44, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe that should change, seeing as the Caesar's Palace Grand Prix doesn't have a picture of Julius Caesar. --Falcadore (talk) 06:59, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Ceasar's Palace isn't a country. San Marino is. And the Sammarinese Grands Prix were held under the auspices of that country's motorsport governing body, just like the Ceasar's Palace Grand Prix was held under the auspices of the US national motorsport governing body. Hence the national flags.Tvx1 11:57, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

message: Crimea is recognised as Ukrainian territory by United Nations resolution 68/262, but is marked on the map as Russian territory. The author of the map, Cherkash, supposedly Russian, agressively disrupts any attempts to correct the error, claiming that only "de facto" status matters. Since such position results in a lot of negative responses, I would suggest substituting the map with correct one from other source.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.69.172.178 (talk) 14:02, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Talk about mountains out of mole hills, you are reading too much into these maps, this is not a political article stop trying to make it one. Besides the Crimea isn't even marked as Russia in the article.SSSB (talk) 11:43, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I would not call the dispute as making mountains out of mole hills since it is related to a major war conflict in Europe regarding Russian invasion into Ukraine that claimed over 13,000 lives already, including those perished during Crimea annexation. FIA during each TV intro shows world map which marks borders of countries recognised by international community, such as United Nations, without any notation on disputed territories. Other issues are also involved, e.g. the whole etnicity is persecuted in Crimea in a racist way. Therefore, one cannot avoid the problem of the disputed territories in a simple way. For instance, if sticking to de-facto status, other regions should be marked as a part of Russian Federation: Tskhinvali Region, Abkhasia and Transnistria. I would recommend VISIBLY mark all disputed territories (also including Nagorno-Karabakh and Taiwan) with unambiguous notation instead of current map, which definitely favours Russian violation of Internalional law.

replies: text: The policy of this wikiproject is to use the flag of the host country. This is because several name sales don't have corresponding flags (the Pacific Grand Prix for example) so as to allow for some kind of consistancy. Although this does seem to abounded here with the use of the Luxembourg and San Marino flags. Not sure why.SSSB (talk) 08:13, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

message: The Belgrade Grand Prix is a former grand prix from the Grand Prix motor racing era - precursor to Formula One. It was held on the streets of Belgrade, the capital of Yugoslavia (today Serbia). Only one championship event was held, on 3 September 1939. This race saw 5 drivers take part - two Mercedes-Benz in their Silver Arrows, two Auto Unions (modern Audi) and a Bugatti, which finished 19 laps down - and was won by Tazio Nuvolari.[1] The Kalemegdan Park circuit is no longer operational. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barserbz (talk • contribs)

message: I think it would make more sense for the Qatar and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix to be identified as "Current Grands Prix (for the 2021 season)" and for "Future/returning Grands Prix" to identify races which will join/rejoin the calendar in future seasons, i.e. the Australian, Canadian, Chinese, Japanese and Singapore Grands Prix - as is done in Template:Formula One Grands Prix. What do others think? 
Or if the idea is to identify races which haven't ever been held yet (i.e. to explain why the "Years" column is empty), then the key should just be "Future Grands Prix", not "Future/returning Grands Prix". DH85868993 (talk) 01:29, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

message: In the "Race" column of the "By race title" table, are the "The XXX Grand Prix was held in <country>" footnotes really necessary? Except for the European Grand Prix (which is a special case), there's a "Country" column immediately to the left showing what country the race was held in. If the purpose of the footnotes is to provide an anchor for the reference to confirm that the race was held in the specified country, couldn't that reference just be placed next to the country name in the "Country" column?
