Well, what can I say? An article of epic scope on a Formula One Grand Prix in 2001, and once again great work done by Z105space. There are just some very minor things I would like to address:

I don't really know about galeforcef1.com as a reliable source. Since the website does not exist anymore, I find it hard to evaluate it. Maybe you can tell me more about it?
- GaleForceF1.com was the host of AtlasF1 (now part of Autosport) and the now defunct official website of Pacific Grand Prix. It is considered a reliable source by WP:MOTOR/SOURCES despite it being shut down.

Thanks for clearing that up!

Race: Two problems with the whole Minardi pre-start business. 1) The sentence you wrote makes little sense to me. Why did Marques use Alonso's car when it was on fire? Seems like a pretty stupid idea... 2) and more importantly, the source you give does not tell the story like you do, so I must assume original research. Please clarify this section.
- I have reworded that Alonso's car was repaired and Marques drove that car. The source, from GrandPrix.com, is also considered reliable as it is written by Joe Saward, the former editor of Autosport who has an official Formula One press pass.

I rewatched the start of the race, and it appears that you are right when you describe what happened. But the source you give does not describe it like that. I never doubted GrandPrix.com as a reliable source, just that the content does not fit to what you write. I have reworded it to fit the source. If you find another, more detailed source, feel free to change it back.

Race: There is no mention of Montoya's retirement!

That is about all I can find. Please look into the issues, you have the usual seven days, but I am confident we can bring this review to a pass in less time than that. Cheers, Zwerg Nase (talk) 19:25, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Zwerg Nase: The issues raised have been rectified. I hope I have clarified the sources you questioned. Z105space (talk) 20:20, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Z105space: With the changes made, I can give this a pass. Congratulations :) Zwerg Nase (talk) 12:52, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
