Talk:2009 Formula One World Championship

message: After a bit of reverting today, a reminder that Liuzzi is not yet classified in the WDC, as he hasn't been classified in a race yet. Yes, good old F1.com lists him as 24th as do the BBC, who copy F1.com, but none of the other usual sources do, e.g. Autosport , motorsport.co.uk, gp.com, even Manipe F1 . Also, after the race on Sunday, the TV captions didn't list him as 24th, ans they won't prior to the Singapore race in a couple of weeks. Bretonbanquet (talk) 00:58, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: For final proof, The FIA's F1 page does not list Liuzzi in the championship at all. IIIVIX (Talk) 04:08, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Is there really any point in having a tyre column for years in which there is only one tyre provider? Plugwash (talk) 19:01, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Last time this issue was discussed the decision was to retain the Tyres column. DH85868993 (talk) 11:11, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Is there a better solution for the name of the Renault team in the teams and drivers table? Having ING Renault F1 Team followed by Renault F1 Team looks pretty silly to be honest. I'm happy just to do away with the ING but I know that will cause issues seeing as they were 'ING Renault' for more than the first half of the year. - mspete93 [talk] 19:21, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Fair enough. I've added a † note to explain it as it will confuse those unaware of the change. - mspete93 [talk] 19:48, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Renault name 

message: The table needs a tweak. Currently it is showing Alguersuari, Coulthard and Hartley as test drivers for Red Bull and Toro Rosso! Or is this correct? Mjroots (talk) 06:46, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes it is correct. 272812A (talk) 11:33, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Teams and Drivers table 

message: Should the replacement of Kobayashi for Glock in Practice 1 & 2 of the Japanese Grand Prix be classified under Mid-Season changes? I know that it was only temporary due to his fever, but it was a driver change, so shouldn't it be classified? 121.214.48.53 (talk) 11:40, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: No. Practice doesn't count for anything. --Falcadore (talk) 12:59, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Obviously if he races tomorrow then yes it should be mentioned. If he doesn't then no. - mspete93 [talk] 13:56, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Where does it say that he will? --Falcadore (talk) 21:27, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The FIA would have to change the rules to let him race. They specifically state that any driver who does not take part on Saturday is not eligible to race on Sunday. Not only that, Kobayashi has had zero dry running, and given the difficulty several of the other drivers had in adapting to running in dry conditions, he'd be a liability. Bretonbanquet (talk) 21:34, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The FIA has also allowed teams to let their third driver take a primary driver's place in Friday practice.  It happened a few times in recent years, but this is the first time it's happened this season.  It needs no mention here in the season article, it's easily covered at 2009 Japanese Grand Prix. IIIVIX (Talk) 21:55, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I was simply saying in the small possibility that he might race having read this article. If he doesn't race, it doesn't need a mention. - mspete93 [talk] 23:48, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Toyota have withdrawn the car. Dead issue. --Falcadore (talk) 01:48, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: He can be shown in the drivers table once he's taken part in a race. Until then, he isn't eligible to be in that table, just like any other driver who hasn't raced. He has been edited into the table, but he's hidden for now, and will be 'unhidden' once his result in Brazil is known. Then he'll be given a position in the table accordingly. At the moment, he is not 25th, as some editors keep insisting. He has to be classified in a race before he's classified in the WDC. Bretonbanquet (talk) 20:34, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I haven't a clue how to use wikipedia - but is this vandalism?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.131.186.149 (talk) 20:17, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Please check 

message: This article is obviously the collective work of many many people, and the problem is that it shows. The structure is really poor - why is there a huge block of text about pre-season testing right at the beginning, yet the report about the actual season is not only smaller but hidden much further below? Can someone do something about this? --Noikeee (talk) 00:10, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well Gilsta's just happened to spend a lot of time re-organizing and re-writing this article, it is looking much better now. QueenCake (talk) 21:15, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article structure 

message: Many may have noticed that the Official Race Edit Songs section has been added to this article.
This is because the previous article it was included in was deleted because it was not a stand-alone article.
Please leave this section in this article.
Thank you.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by WesleyBranton (talk • contribs) 04:25, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
