message: Shouldn't the fact that Ricardo Zonta's tire failed as well during Friday practice before Ralf Schumacher had his tire failure be included in the article?  Or was Zonta's failure proven to be caused by some other fault?  The359 17:18, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

message: It appears that "F-1 teams offer to hold makeup race" (currently reference 29) is broken (the page returns a whole bunch of "The article link is not valid or the article has expired from the system."). I haven't looked around to see if it can be trivially fixed, but I just thought I'd raise it here. Cheers --Pak21 09:47, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

message: This section is turning into a bit of a mess. People keep adding more channels that actually did show the race. As it actually looks like most stations did show it, perhaps we replace the whole section with a very brief comment that one channel (TSN in Canada) didn't show the race and leave it at that. Comments? 4u1e 06:32, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good idea. I fully agree, although it's quite interesting to know what the commentators said during the race. --84.161.251.71 16:07, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The TV coverage is still a problem, the complaint above was made five months ago. If action on this isn't forthcoming then the article should be nominated for a featured article review, as it no longer meets the criteria. BeL1EveR 11:42, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Which is in fact what I've done: The majority of it was about channels which did show the race, which is hardly notable! I couldn't actually find anything on TSN's alleged non-showing, so I thought it best just to delete the whole thing. Cheers. 4u1e 13:38, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The second ref (F1'S FUTURE LOOKS BLEAK ACROSS THE POND www.motorsport.com Retrieved 2 December 2006) had a wrong title and did not support the point being made about F1 struggling over twenty years in the US. I have removed it pending clarification. Marskell 13:54, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Incorrect info

message: In the US, t-Y-re is not a word, t-I-re is.  Please spell "tire" correctly from now on.
:Your change has been reverted. Although it may seem odd to you to see the British (and European) English spelling used here, Formula One is not an American series.
:Only one North American driver was involved. All of the teams are based in Europe, including the Japanese ones. Half of them are based in England. The tyre supplier primarily concerned here is French. The other is Japanese. The main individuals involved from the sporting authorities (Max Mosley and Bernie Ecclestone) are English. Mosley is the head of the relevant sporting authority, the FIA, which is based in France. The other individual quoted at length, Paul Stoddart, is Australian.
:You have picked up on the word 'tyre' or 'tire'. however, to fully convert the article into US English (ignoring changes in sentence structure etc.) would also mean changing many other terms, like 'straightaway' for 'straight' and 'push' for 'understeer'. But if all those changes were carried out, we'd have an article about a Formula One race written in language that just isn't used in that sport.
:Looking at it another way, which variety of English, UK or US, do you believe that the 2007 NFL match between the New York Giants and Miami Dolphins, played at Wembley stadium in the UK, should be described in? Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 22:23, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, the point I was trying to make above is not that UK English is necessarily the right variety for this article, but that it is certainly a very strong contender. As such, and as the existing variety, it should not be changed. Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 09:47, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: This article is about the UNITED STATES Grand Prix.  Why would you misspell "tire" so many times?

message: This section was deleted a while back in the absence of any references to support it, and on the basis that it appears that the race was broadcast in most countries. Someone has added the section back again, without references. What it boils down to is that the race was apparently not shown in Canada (TFN) or France (TF1). TF1 in France apparently doesn't show the USGP live and direct anyway, as it clashes with something else. I haven't found any decent refs for this, only forum discussions. This is enough to make me believe it, but not enough to use as a reliable source. I'll leave the section in for a bit, but if no-one references it, it will have to go. Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 11:44, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't find any refs, and no-one else has, so I've deleted it. If refs are found in future, it can be added, of course. 4u1e (talk) 16:48, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Couldn't help but noticing that this page is in British English. Being that it is about an event in the United States (MOS:TIES), what reason is there for this? One would expect an article on a sporting event (or anything else) held in the UK not to be written in American English standards, so what reason is there for this article to comply with British spelling?

replies: text: See Tyre vs Tire above. DH85868993 (talk) 03:51, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah read it already; I am still not convinced, but whatever. The analogy to an NFL game or whatever it was being held at Wembley is different because NFL teams are all American owned, but F1 teams are not all British owned (and there have even been American drivers in the past), and is more comparable to say, an international soccer/football qualifier match were held in the UK, but the game had the US team versus Germany or something (which I believe should be in UK rather than US English, because the UK is hosting said event). But again, whatever. Just voicing an opinion.--L1A1 FAL (talk) 04:06, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The reasons why the topic has ties to UK English that are as strong or stronger than those to US English have been rehearsed at great length above. WP:ENGVAR says: "When an article has evolved sufficiently for it to be clear which variety of English it employs, the whole article should continue to conform to that variety, unless there are reasons for changing it based on strong national ties to the topic." The article originated in UK English and there doesn't seem to be any strong reason to change it, especially bearing in mind that this will compromise consistency within the article (another of the tenets of WP:ENGVAR) due to the use of UK English quotes within the article. 4u1e (talk) 19:32, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: FWIW, the European Union (EU) where most of the Formula One teams originate uses British English for its official English, as indeed does NATO, both organisations using the Concise Oxford English Dictionary as their spelling references.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.148.221.50 (talk) 10:07, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Dead link 2 

message: "The win, Schumacher's only victory of 2005, ended the second-longest non-winning streak of his career and moved him from fifth to third in the drivers championship". This needs some clarification.
Till 2010, the two longest non-winning periods (17 races without a win) of Schumacher's career were both in the beginning of 90s -- from BEL'91 to HUN'92 and from ITA'92 to POR'93; at that time the period from BRA'04 to CAN'05 (9 races) was only the third-longest.
Now there's one even longer period (37 races, if one would count that way, or 5 years and 8 days), so the quote needs to be rephrased. Say, the win "ended, to time, the third-longest non-winning streak of his career". Any considerations? Ximaera (talk) 13:56, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Or we could (and I believe should) just remove the "non-winning streak" clause altogether. "Third longest non-winning streak" is starting to get pretty trivial. DH85868993 (talk) 21:28, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Practice and qualifying

message: Michelin had been providing working tyres for the race since 2001. The situation was worsened by the 2005 Formula One rules, which forbade tyre changes during the race.
So the rule change worsened the fact that Michelin had been providing working tyres for the race since 2001?

message: I've just moved a reference from the lead that said that this was the lowest number of finishers in an International Grand Prix since the 1914 American Grand Prize. As stated, this is not true - the 1966 Monaco Grand Prix had only four finishers, and I think some other Monaco GPs had as few as five during the 1990s.
Was it intended to mean that it was the lowest number of finishers in an international GP in the States? If so, can I suggest that it should be reinstated somewhere in the body of the article, not in the lead, which is supposed to function as a summary of the whole article. The lead here is now very, very long compared to the body of the article. --4u1e (talk) 19:36, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
