message: Authenticity check: A search reveals that the phrase "regarded by many" appears in the text. Is the phrase a symptom of a dubious statement? Could a source be quoted instead? Perhaps the "many" could be identified? Might text be edited to more genuinely reflect specific facts? --Wetman

Talk:Phil Hill

message: In the info box it says Hill's last race was the 1966 Italian Grand Prix. But in fact Hill did not qualify for that race, hence shouldn't the 1964 Mexican Grand Prix be listed as his last race?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.94.159.240 (talk) 00:16, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: For the purposes of the infobox and some other stats, "last race" means "last event", i.e. the last Formula One event that a driver participated in. So even if he only took part in practice or qualifying, it counts as his last event. It's slightly misleading, but we use the same policy for all F1 drivers, for consistency.

message: Someone needs to edit the pronunciation of "Levegh" not only with a citation, but with the definitive pronunciation.

message: Should he really be in the F1 category? I have no problem with him being there per se, but the box under his name giving his "stats" give the impression that his life has soley been in F1, and in that "main area" of his life, he has no worthwhile stats.

Talk:Riccardo Paletti

message: I watched this race and remember with great sorrow the startline accident.  Paletti was following the other cars away from the line and, when those in front of him swerved at the last second to avoid Pironi's stationary Ferrari, he plowed straight into the back of Pironi.  Later on, people would suggest that Paletti's inexperience was a major factor in the accident, the fact is that he didn't have time to react to the situation.  The Osella's fuel tank ruptured some time before the fire started.
On the CBC feed, Niki Lauda (interviewed before the restart) began to complain about the slow attention of the track marshalls to the accident. In particular, he focused on the fact that the marshalls had not begun spraying down the spilled fuel before it ignited - the suggestion being that a blanket of retardant might have prevented the fire.  He was quickly cut off by the CBC interviewer, and the network then broke away to a different interview.  
As Paletti had severe physical injuries unrelated to the fire (though medical reports afterward suggested he had lung damage associated with the fire), it seems likely he would not have survived the accident even absent the fire, so perhaps Lauda's comments were not completely fair.  Marshalling and safety were woeful during this period in Formula One.  Lauda himself had nearly died in a terrible accident only a few years earlier.  In addition to the generally poor safety precautions, one must acknowledge that the Osella team produced terribly poor racing cars during the early 1980's, and that the poor design and maintenance of the Osella racing car also played a role in the accident.  Earlier in the year, both Jarier and Paletti had indicated a complete lack of confidence in their cars.  One only need look at the retirement record of the team to see that wheels (and other parts) fell off with alarming regularity. Posthocergopropterhoc (talk) 20:34, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Jochen Rindt

message: His german wiki states that he is of german nationality but had an austrian drivers license.
:This is true, due to the jus sanguinis principle he remained a German citizen, while representing Austria in motorsports. And, during his professional career, called Switzerland his home. -91.32.228.27 14:10, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  His mother was austrian. And he moved to Austria when he was a baby. So, I'm not sure he just had an austrian motorsport licence. I think he also had austrian citizenship Woodcote 21:44, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The article on Austrian nationality law suggests that Austrian nationality didn't exist when Rindt was born, as the country had been annexed to Germany. He appears to have been living in Austria at the end of the war, so he may have 'converted' to Austrian nationality when Austria was re-established. More likely his grandparents would have made the decision, I don't know how much time was allowed to choose German or Austrian nationality. If that did happen, the Austrian nationality law article says he would have lost his German nationality. Also note that if the rules on nationality in F1 were the same then as they are now, which is not necessarily the case, he would have to have held an Austrian passport to represent Austria. 4u1e (talk) 16:37, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Plagiarism? 

message: I've read a story somewhere that the Rindt/Gregory Ferrari underwent a lengthy pit stop early in the race, which should have put it out of contention.  When the car was fixed, Gregory found Rindt dressed in civvies and about to leave the circuit; he agreed to continue in tne race only if the pair drove flat-out to the finish.  Which they duly did and, thanks to the attrition among their rivals, won.  Then the gearbox broke when the mechanics were taking the car back to the pits following the victory celebrations.  I can't remember where I read it, though.  Any ideas? Mr Larrington (talk) 18:56, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
