Why "First races without Michael Schumacher"[edit]

Aside from the obvious - the first races without MS where in the 50s :-), this section make no reference to the significance of MS not being there - not that there is any really - He didn't come back in 2007 and it wasn't like one of his records was broken in this period of races.

Also I haven't seen other years include first races without Prost, or Lauda or Piquet etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.150.240.190 (talk) 01:07, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fair comment. I've changed it to "Early season". The absence of Schumacher was a fairly big deal at the time (he'd been dominant/competitive for such a long time), but you're correct that without any context it seems odd. And it could be misinterpreted as "First races (of the season) without Michael Schumacher, as opposed to later races where he was present", of which of course there were none (as you pointed out).

To be fair, the section titles as a whole are rather poor. "Drama", during an F1 season? I'm fairly certain drama exists in every race of the season, so how is this seperating the season at all? And dramatic conclusion? This makes it sound like it's a fictional story, and not a historical retelling of an event. The359 (Talk) 08:23, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed. I would not object to all the sub-headings of "Season review" being removed. DH85868993 (talk) 08:30, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In fact, I've removed them, noting that most of the other season summary articles don't have subsections in the "Season review"/"Report" section. DH85868993 (talk) 04:58, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Constructors' Championship[edit]

What's the point of showing McLaren's points total including the points they could have scored in Hungary between parentheses in the Constructors' Championship table. They were penalized with ineligibility for constructors' points after qualification for the Hungarian Grand Prix and thus BEFORE the race and as a result they were never awarded those points. Indeed, Hamilton and Alonso were allowed to keep their drivers' points but that only relates to the Drivers' Championship and not by any means to the Constructors' Championship. They never scored those points and I can't really see why a total including them should be here. Tvx1 (talk) 20:13, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well... look at it this way. If the season exclusion hadn't have happened, we would still have needed an explanation for the discrepancy between the drivers' points and the constructor's points, because that is pretty unusual. Someone doing the math themselves would find they didn't add up. So a note would have to be made about the 15 point difference. Since the season exclusion happened, that's more academic than pertinent, but it's still useful information. Now, should this be in the table, in the parenthetical, and not in a footnote? Probably should be in a footnote, because it's unsound to have a bunch of numbers there that are later explained. But I can understand why the number is given. So, instead of having either number in the table, the explanation and numbers should be moved entirely to the footnotes. --Golbez (talk) 20:24, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with that. A 0 with footnote and 203 with a second footnote is more than enough. The 218 is unnecessary and misleading because they never scored those points. Tvx1 (talk) 17:29, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Headline photo[edit]

When you search this article from the main page, why doesn't it show the champion Kimi Räikkönen in the photo and instead you will see Lewis Hamilton? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.249.16.98 (talk) 18:15, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Probably to do with how Hamilton's image is less long and more appropriate for the thumbnail? I don't know how Wikipedia selects thumbnail images but I would have assumed it'd be based on the order of the image & Raikkonen's is clearly first. I guess we could try using a different Raikkonen image? FozzieHey (talk) 18:21, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
We could try cropping the image.

Semi-protected edit request on 26 March 2021[edit]

Unitalicize the words "Driver's Championship" and "Constructor's Championship", it's completely unnecessary to have those words italicized and it looks bad. Matthewthemorgan2404 (talk) 00:18, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Done I don't see where "Constructor's Championship" was italicised, however. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 08:41, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
