Rick 20as

Hello, I am trying to help this user understand image uploads and why he shouldn't swap out various images with his own, but we really shouldn't be accusing him of "vandalism". I think the better approach is to educate him. Agreed? --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk 19:56, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

I have blocked him indefinitely until he agrees to communicate and follow the rules. Thanks for being patient! --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk 00:31, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Balkan Cup

Hello, you reverted my change on the page about the Balkan Cup concerning the country Velež Mostar is from saying that back in those days it was part of Yugoslavia. Thing is - Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Bosnia & Herzegovina were all parts of Yugoslavia back then and in fact I see no point in sorting teams by their present-day countries. However, if that's the proper thing to do, I'm fine with it but Velež can't possibly be Serbian since Mostar (the city they are from) is actually quite comfortably situated in Bosnia. So the list of clubs should either list Dinamo Zagreb, Radnički Niš, Velež Mostar etc as all being Yugoslavian - or as hailing from present-day Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia Herzegovina. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Timbouctou (talk • contribs) 19:53, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Request For Rollback

I have granted your request for rollback. Please remember only to use it for vandalism. Pedro :  Chat  21:22, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Blocked

For your long term revert war and ownership attitude on Panathinaikos FC, I've blocked you for 31h. I am also putting you on notice that you are from now on placed on a revert parole of one revert per day maximum on all articles relating to Greek football. This is exempting only reverts of obvious, blatant vandalism (but before you invoke this exception, please read up very carefully on what vandalism is and what it is not. Furthermore, you are required to accompany every revert with a full expanation of your reasons.

I have also removed your rollback privilege, since you have been constantly misusing it for revert warring in content disputes. Fut.Perf. ☼ 14:00, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello, about your comments. First off, please don't post under anon IPs on other people's pages while you're blocked. You can use this page for whatever communication you need during this time. About the issue, I appreciate your efforts in vandal fighting, but I do have the impression you have been mixing in your own definition of "vandalism" with your own content ideas about what the Panathinaikos article should look like. Of the recent rollback reverts, at least the following are about apparently good-faith content edits: [1], [2], [3], [4] (with some others I find it harder to tell since I don't know the topic). Remember, "vandalism" is only when you are absolutely certain that the other guy is consciously, deliberately degrading the article. As long as there is a chance that the other guy subjectively believes he is making the article better, be that ever so erroneous, you must not treat it as vandalism.

About the specific case of those two players, what struck me is (1) that you upheld this edit war over several months, apparently against objections by numerous other contributors who all felt they should be included; (2) that your arguments against including them look very emotional and POV-driven. As an admin evaluating the situation I'm not really supposed to judge whether you are right or not, but in this case I can't help but feeling that your argument lacks merit. These two guys are clearly notable footballers (Hell, even I know Nikopolidis, and that's saying something!), and they are uncontroversially former players. The section is about notable former players. They are notable and they are former players, period. Their popularity or their loyalty to the club is immaterial. Fut.Perf. ☼ 20:33, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I guess you are right, and thanks for clarifying me some things. It seems that I wasn't ready enough to use rollback tool but I hope I'll be in the future - but please also explain it to the other admin who gave me this right, Thanks again and sorry for my behaviour.. :) --KaragouniS :  Chat  21:26, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Φίλε συγγνώμη απλά δε ήξερα που αλλού να πάω.Δεν ήθελα να κάνουμε ο ένας revert στον άλλον συνέχεια.Δεν ήθελα να χάσεις το rollback απλά σου ξαναλέω ο Νικοπολιδης και ο Κωνσταντινου έχουν θέση δίπλα στον Δομάζο και τον Δελικαρη(δεν σε πειράζει που ειναι αυτος σημαία του ΟΣΦΠ;)Αυτοί τον έχουν και δικαίως στην δικια τους σελίδα.Απο κει και πέρα ας πουμε εγω δεν θα έβαζα τον Καρούλια ή τον Φιλακούρη ως noted οπως δεν θα έβαζα τον Αναστασιάδη στους noted παικτες του παρελθοντος στον ΠΑΟΚ ή τον Ανατολάκη στον ΟΣΦΠ αλλά τελωσπάντων υπάρχουν.Δεν είναι αδικία και εγκυκλοπαιδικό λάθος να αρνήστε να μπει ο Νικοπολίδης ο οποιος μετα τον Σαργκάνη και τον Οικονομόπουλο είναι ο μεγαλύτερος Έλληνας τερματοφύλακας ολων των εποχών και ο Κωνσταντίνου που ήταν το κανόνι του Ελληνικού πρωταθλήματος για 8 χρονια;Και δεν είναι μονο τα γκολ του (θυμασαι τα 9 που ειχε βάλει στην πορεια το 2001-2 νομίζω στο CL;) αλλά και ο ρολος του ως τανκ στην επιθεση.

Derby

Ευχαριστώ! Βέβαια δεν ξέρω αν θα πρέπει να βάλουμε και αυτά τα παιχνίδια γιατί θα γίνει πολύ μεγάλο το κομμάτι με τους πίνακες. Άλλωστε αυτά τα παιχνίδια δεν τα μετράνε και πολύ στην προϊστορία των δύο ομάδων αν και από μία άποψη θα ήταν καλό να μπουν. Είμαι μπερδεμένος. Επειδή έχω φτιάξει και το αντίστοιχο άρθρο στο μπάσκετ, αν μπορούσες να βρεις παιχνίδια πριν το 1986-87 θα ήταν καλό. - Sthenel (talk) 11:47, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

1994 San Marino Grand Prix

Hi. I noticed you removed this bit about the HANS device from the article. It's inclusion does seem a bit tenuous with it being introduced in 2001, but the FIA first started investigating and adapting it in 1996, two years after the event. Source:[5]. Do you think if it was made clearer in the body of the article that investigations started in '96, it would be suitable to include in the article? AlexJ (talk) 08:47, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Reply for Panathinaikos presidents list

Unfortunately I don't have neither a specific list, nor complete information. I will write what I know but there is an issue: I guess that until 1979 when the football department went pro, P.A.O. presidents were in charge of the whole club, but since the football department was the biggest one, that was their main focus. Probably there were people in charge of the other departments but I don't know a lot about that. Maybe you could create a table, add it to the article and whoever sees it and knows something more, might complete it!
Alexandros Kalafatis (1908-?)
George Tsohas (sometime before 1921 I think. I don't know the years, but I read it was when the name was P.P.A.O.)
Loukas Panourgias (sometime after 1927, but I don't know the years)
Apostolos Nikolaidis (1974-1979?, I'm pretty sure it was 1979 because I read that he made the deal with the Vardinogiannis family)
George Vardinogiannis (1979-2000)
Aggelos Phillipidis (2000-2003)
Argiris Mitsou (2003-2008)
Nikolas Pateras (2008-present)

Thanks

Hey, just quickly dropping by to say thanks for helping out with reversions on Gilberto Silva. The excitement from so many Pana fans has been quite amazing :-) Thanks again, GilbertoSilvaFan (talk) 07:59, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. If at all possible, I think we should try and avoid semi protection. With the Panathinaikos FC article, it seems to be getting quite a lot of bad edits, and so there I think that SP is perhaps warranted; but the Gilberto Silva article seems to be a lot more manageable. Yesterday the Pana article received 8 bad edits, and the Gilberto article just one. I think semi protection should only be used in more extreme cases, and also if there is mal-intent present; but with these "Gilberto joins Pana" edits, the anonymous contributors are honestly trying to be useful - so to just make them unable to edit seems slightly harsh, and not in Wikipedia's interests (since they might turn into long term useful editors if they are given a chance to edit this kind of article, even if in their newbieness they are doing it wrong). Thanks again for all your reversions though - I'm sure we can see the Gilberto article through to when (if?) he signs for Pana. (There are reports emerging this morning that he may sign for Everton instead, and reports saying he may just stay at Arsenal... I've no idea what will happen!) Cheers, take care. -GilbertoSilvaFan (talk) 04:00, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Panathinaikos FC

Hey dude, i think halmstad was right when he removed squad changes for the new season as per WP: NOT News. The squad changes should only be in the article of the current season of panathinaikos fc. Thanks :). Sergiogr (talk) 14:24, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Rollback granted

After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback can be used to revert vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback may be removed at any time.

If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Happy editing!

Warning on my talk page

Hello, I think you made a mistake. I was reverting vandalism, and I must have beaten you before reverting. SchfiftyThree 23:23, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Page Vandalism

Not sure how this is supposed to work but, I just read a message on my wikipedia giving several warnings for vandalism, I looked at the various editings that I was accused of making, and although I have visited those pages, I would never have written such useless rude additions. So clearly, someone has used my computer to do that. Now, I have created my own account, but is there any way of wiping those warnings from my IP address? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pemb2470 (talk • contribs) 14:59, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Whitelist

You should ask someone in a higher power to get you on the user whitelist, so when you revert something miliseconds before I tap the vandalism key, a ton of revert reverts happen. tj9991 (talk | contribs) 05:19, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Well, I went into the #countervandalism channel on freenode and asked an administrator to take care of it for me, and they said they did. I'm not sure of any other ways, so if that isn't possible you may wish to write something on an administrator noticeboard. tj9991 (talk | contribs) 05:24, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

I see that you caught and reverted vandalism on my user page. Please know that I appreciate it. dhett ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:22, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Epsilon Euskadi

Regarding your recent edits to Epsilon Euskadi and the creation of Epsilon Euskadi EE1, I think some things might need to be changed. First, the creation of the EE1 article might be considered debatable as the car is so new, and has only participated in four races without any successes. There is, at the moment, very little to actually write about the car. It might be better, at least for now, to at least expand the Epsilon Euskadi article before considering writing an article on their car. There is very little text regarding the team's history on their article, and there really needs to be more regarding notability before we start expanding to adding the EE1 article.

Second, there is also some confusion of the name of the car, as Epsilon Euskadi's own website refers to it as the ee1. I myself have used EE1 on the article which mention the car, but it is possible that these are in error and the correct name should be lower case.

I have however noticed you've come across the Sports Car Racing WikiProject, and if you're interested, feel free to join and participate. The359 (talk) 05:08, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Österreichring

Riverside International Raceway no longer exist, but it has a track map (it's .png unfortunately). That .svg map of Österreichring was correct. Please don't erase it. Auto Racing Fan (talk) 15:35, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

You are wrong, sir (or ma'am). The .svg map provides an accurate layout of Österreichring before it was changed into A1 Ring. Once again, please do not change it. Auto Racing Fan (talk) 17:14, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Article of the month - Max Mosley, recently relisted as a Good Article Max Rufus Mosley (born April 13, 1940) is president of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), a non-profit association that represents the interests of motoring organisations and car users worldwide. The FIA is also the governing body for Formula One and other international motorsports. Mosley is a former barrister and amateur racing driver, and a founder and co-owner of March Engineering, a successful racing car constructor and Formula One racing team. He looked after legal and commercial issues for the company between 1969 and 1977. In the late 1970s, Mosley became the official legal adviser to the Formula One Constructors Association (FOCA), the body which represents the Formula One teams. In this role he drew up the first version of the Concorde Agreement, which settled a dispute between FOCA and the Fédération Internationale du Sport Automobile (FISA), the governing body of Formula One. Mosley was elected president of FISA in 1991 and became president of the FIA, FISA's parent body, in 1993. Mosley has identified his major achievement as FIA President as being the promotion of the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP or Encap), a European car safety performance assessment programme. He has also promoted increased safety and the use of green technologies in motor racing. In 2008, Mosley retained his position after stories about his sex life appeared in the British press. Mosley is the son of Sir Oswald Mosley, former leader of the British Union of Fascists (BUF), and Diana Mitford. He was educated in France, Germany and Britain before going on to attend university at Christ Church, Oxford where he graduated with a degree in physics. In his teens and early twenties Mosley was involved with his father's post-war party, the Union Movement (UM). He has said that the association of his surname with fascism stopped him from developing his interest in politics further, although he briefly worked for the Conservative Party in the early 1980s.

Article of the month - 1995 Pacific Grand Prix, new Featured Article The 1995 Pacific Grand Prix (formally the II Pacific Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on October 22, 1995 at the TI Circuit, Aida, Japan. It was the 15th race of the 1995 Formula One season. The race, contested over 83 laps, was won by Michael Schumacher for the Benetton team after starting from third position. David Coulthard, who started the Grand Prix from pole position, finished second in a Williams car, with Damon Hill third in the other Williams. Schumacher's win confirmed him as 1995 Drivers' Champion as Hill could not pass Schumacher's points total with only two races remaining. Hill started the race alongside Coulthard on the front row, amidst pressure from the British media for not being "forceful" enough in battles. Schumacher attempted to drive around the outside of Hill at the first corner, but Hill held Schumacher off as Jean Alesi, driving for Ferrari got past both on the inside line to take second position. As a result, Hill dropped down to third and Schumacher dropped down to fifth behind Gerhard Berger. Schumacher managed to get past Alesi and Hill during the first of three pit stops. This allowed him, on a new set of slick tyres, to close on Coulthard who was on a two-stop strategy. Schumacher opened up a gap of 21 seconds by lapping two seconds faster per lap than Coulthard, so that when his third stop came, he still led the race. (More...)

Article of the month - 2008 Belgian Grand Prix, current Good Article Candidate The 2008 Belgian Grand Prix (formally the LXIV ING Belgian Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on September 7, 2008, at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Spa, Belgium. It was the 13th race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 44 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team, after the initial winner, McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton, was penalised for cutting a chicane and gaining an advantage over Ferrari's Kimi Räikkönen. Hamilton started from pole position alongside title rival Massa. Hamilton's McLaren team-mate Heikki Kovalainen started from third next to the 2007 winner Kimi Räikkönen. Following a spin by Hamilton on the second lap, Räikkönen led the race, until rain fell on lap 41 and Hamilton performed the penalised pass. Räikkönen crashed in the following lap as rain started raining heavily. Massa finished second on the road after Hamilton, followed by Nick Heidfeld of BMW Sauber. Hamilton received a drive-through penalty, which demoted him to third place and advanced Massa and Heidfeld to first and second positions. McLaren appealed the decision at the FIA International Court of Appeal. Their case, however, was judged inadmissible, with the Court ruling that drive-through penalties cannot be challenged. The penalty created a large amount of criticism from the global press, mainly from the United Kingdom and Italy, with several former drivers questioning the decision. Massa's retrospective win, with Hamilton demoted to third, narrowed the gap in the Championship from six points to just two. (More...)

Article of the month - 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix, current Good Article candidate. The 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix (formally the XXXVII Grande Prêmio Santander do Brasil) was a Formula One motor race held on November 2 2008, at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace, Interlagos, in São Paulo, Brazil. It was the 18th and final race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 71 laps, was won by Felipe Massa after starting from pole position. Fernando Alonso finished second in a Renault, and Kimi Räikkönen third in a Ferrari. Before the race, Drivers' Championship leader Lewis Hamilton had received heated criticism in the British press for his aggressive driving style at the Japanese Grand Prix three weeks previously. There, Hamilton's late braking at the first corner sent Räikkönen off the road and saw the McLaren driver relegated to the back of the field after a penalty. Massa started the race alongside Toyota driver Jarno Trulli. Massa's Ferrari team-mate Räikkönen began from third next to Hamilton. Rain fell minutes before the race, delaying the start, and as the track dried Massa established a lead of several seconds. More rain in the closing laps did not prevent Hamilton from finishing the race in fifth position, securing him the points needed to take the Championship. (More...)

Article of the month - Damon Hill, kept at Featured Article status after review. Damon Graham Devereux Hill OBE (born 17 September 1960) is a retired British racing driver from England. In 1996 Hill won the Formula One World Championship; as the son of the late Graham Hill, he is the only son of a world champion to win the title. His father died in a plane crash when Hill was 15, leaving the family in reduced circumstances and Hill came to professional motorsports at the relatively late age of 23 by racing motorcycles. After some minor success, he moved on to single-seater racing cars, and progressed steadily up the ranks to the International Formula 3000 championship by 1989, where although often competitive he never won a race. Hill became a test driver for the Formula One title-winning Williams team in 1992. He was unexpectedly promoted to the Williams race team the following year after 1992 champion Nigel Mansell's departure and took the first of his 22 victories at the 1993 Hungarian Grand Prix. During the mid 1990s, Hill was Michael Schumacher's main rival for the Formula One Driver's Championship. The two clashed on and off the track; their collision at the 1994 Australian Grand Prix gave Schumacher his first title by a single point. Hill won the 1996 World Drivers' Championship, but was dropped by Williams for the following season. He went on to drive for the less competitive Arrows and Jordan teams, and in 1998 gave Jordan its first win. Hill retired from racing after the 1999 season. He has since launched several businesses as well as making appearances playing the guitar with celebrity bands. In 2006, he became president of the British Racing Drivers' Club, succeeding Jackie Stewart. (More...)

Article of the month - List of Formula One Grand Prix winners, new Featured List Formula One, abbreviated to F1, is the highest class of open-wheeled auto racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motorsport's world governing body. The "formula" in the name refers to a set of rules to which all participants and cars must conform. The F1 world championship season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, held usually on purpose-built circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets. The most famous Grand Prix is the Monaco Grand Prix in Monte Carlo. The results of each race are combined to determine two annual Championships, one for drivers and one for constructors. Michael Schumacher holds the record for the most Grand Prix victories, having won 91 times. Alain Prost, is second with 51 wins, and Ayrton Senna is third, with 41 wins. Michael Schumacher holds the distinction of having the longest time between his first win and his last. He won his first Grand Prix in 1992 at the Belgian Grand Prix, and his last in 2006 at the Chinese Grand Prix, a gap that spans 14 years, 1 month and 1 day. The youngest winner of a Grand Prix is Sebastian Vettel, who was 21 years, 73 days old when he won the 2008 Italian Grand Prix. Luigi Fagioli is the oldest winner of a Formula One Grand Prix; he was 53 years and 22 days old when he won the 1951 French Grand Prix. (More...)

Article of the month - 2008 Chinese Grand Prix, new Good Article The 2008 Chinese Grand Prix (formally the V Sinopec Chinese Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on October 19, 2008 at the Shanghai International Circuit, Shanghai, China. It was the 17th and penultimate race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 56 laps, was won by Lewis Hamilton for the McLaren team after starting from pole position. Ferrari driver Felipe Massa finished second, and Kimi Räikkönen was third in the other Ferrari. Hamilton, the eventual Drivers' Champion, led the Championship going into the race, and started from pole position alongside Räikkönen. Second in the Drivers' Championship, Massa began from third, next to Fernando Alonso of Renault. The first three drivers retained their positions into the first corner, but Alonso was passed by Hamilton's McLaren teammate Heikki Kovalainen. However, Alonso was able to regain the place midway through the first lap. Over the course of the race, Hamilton extended a considerable lead over the two Ferraris. Massa passed Räikkönen with seven laps remaining, to improve his chances of surpassing Hamilton's points tally at the final race in Brazil. The result extended Ferrari's lead over McLaren in the Constructors' Championship from seven to 11 points. Third-placed in the Drivers' Championship, Robert Kubica's sixth place at the Grand Prix eliminated his hopes of winning the Championship, and reduced his lead over fourth-placed Räikkönen to six points.

Article of the month - 2008 German Grand Prix, current Good Article Candidate. The 2008 German Grand Prix (formally the LXVIII Großer Preis Santander von Deutschland) was a Formula One motor race held on July 20, 2008 at the Hockenheimring, Hockenheim, Germany. It was the 10th race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 67 laps, was won by Lewis Hamilton for the McLaren team after starting from pole position. Nelson Piquet, Jr. finished second in a Renault car, with Felipe Massa third in a Ferrari. Hamilton maintained his startline advantage and led until he made his first pit stop on lap 18. As other cars made their pit stops, Hamilton regained the lead on lap 22. On lap 36 Timo Glock crashed, and the race was neutralized by the deployment of the safety car. Hamilton, on a two-stop strategy, did not stop to get more fuel during this period, while all the cars around him did. Thus when he did eventually stop on lap 50, he rejoined the race in fifth. In the closing stages of the race, Hamilton overtook first his team-mate Heikki Kovalainen, then Massa, and finally Piquet, to take the lead again on lap 60, which he maintained to win the race. The victory was Hamilton's second consecutive win, having won the preceding British Grand Prix at Silverstone. The win put him ahead of his two main rivals in the Drivers' Championship, Kimi Räikkönen (who finished sixth) and Massa of Ferrari, who were on equal points with him before the race. After the race he was four points ahead of Räikkönen, and seven ahead of Massa. In the Constructors' Championship, McLaren drew closer to the two teams ahead of them, BMW Sauber and Ferrari.

Article of the month - 2008 Bahrain Grand Prix, new Good Article The 2008 Bahrain Grand Prix (formally the V Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on April 6, 2008 at the Bahrain International Circuit, in Sakhir, Bahrain. It was the third race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 57 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team. Kimi Räikkönen was second in the other Ferrari, and BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica was third. The race began with Kubica in pole position alongside Massa; Lewis Hamilton, the eventual Drivers' Champion, started from third, alongside Räikkönen. Kubica was passed by Massa into the first corner, and then by Räikkönen on the third lap. The Ferraris dominated at the front of the race, leading to their one-two finish. Hamilton had a slow start after almost stalling on the grid, and dropped back to ninth. The McLaren driver ran into the back of Fernando Alonso's Renault a lap later, breaking off the McLaren's front wing and dropping Hamilton to the back of the field. Kubica's strong finish promoted BMW Sauber to the lead in the Constructors' Championship, after BMW driver Nick Heidfeld finished fourth. Ferrari and McLaren trailed, one and two points behind, respectively. Räikkönen took the lead in the Drivers' Championship, with 19 points, three points ahead of Heidfeld and five ahead of Hamilton, Kubica and Kovalainen, with 15 races remaining in the season. (More..)

Article of the month - 2008 Turkish Grand Prix, new Good Article The 2008 Turkish Grand Prix (formally the IV Petrol Ofisi Turkish Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on May 11, 2008 at the Istanbul Racing Circuit, Istanbul, Turkey. It was the fifth race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 58 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team after starting from pole position. Lewis Hamilton finished second in a McLaren, with Kimi Räikkönen third in the second Ferrari. Massa claimed pole, with teammate Räikkönen fourth, the two Ferrari cars sandwiching the McLarens of Heikki Kovalainen and Hamilton. At the first corner Räikkönen clipped Kovalainen's rear tyre and gave him a puncture. The safety car was deployed on the first lap, after a collision, but only remained out for one lap. During the course of the race, Hamilton, intending to make one more pit stop than both Ferrari drivers, was faster than Massa due to carrying a lighter fuel load and overtook him on lap 24. After Hamilton had made his third pit stop, he rejoined in second behind Massa but in front of the Championship leader, Räikkönen. Massa won the race, with Hamilton 3.779 seconds behind, and Räikkönen a further half-second behind. The two BMW Sauber cars of Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld took fourth and fifth. In the week running up to the grand prix, the Super Aguri team had withdrawn from Formula One, due to financial problems, leaving the sport with only ten teams. Massa's victory was his third consecutive pole position and victory in Turkey, having also won the race from pole in 2006 and 2007. This was also Rubens Barrichello's 257th Grand Prix start, breaking Riccardo Patrese's previous record of 256. Due to the race result, Räikkönen's lead in the Drivers' Championship was lowered to seven points. Massa rose to second from fourth, whilst Hamilton dropped to third, both drivers tying on 28 points but separated by Massa's two wins thus far to Hamilton's one. In the Constructors' Championship, Ferrari increased their lead to 22 points ahead of BMW Sauber, with McLaren a further two points behind in third. (More...)

Article of the month - 2008 Monaco Grand Prix, new Featured Article The 2008 Monaco Grand Prix (formally the LXVI Grand Prix de Monaco) was a Formula One motor race held on May 25, 2008 at the Circuit de Monaco; contested over 76 laps, it was the sixth race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race was won by the season's eventual Drivers' Champion, Lewis Hamilton, for the McLaren team. BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica finished second, and Felipe Massa, who started from pole position, was third in a Ferrari. Conditions were wet at the start of the race. Massa maintained his lead into the first corner, but his teammate Kimi Räikkönen was passed for second by Hamilton, who had started in third position on the grid. Hamilton suffered a punctured tyre on lap six, forcing him to make a pit stop from which he re-entered the race in fifth place. As the track dried and his rivals made their own pit stops Hamilton became the race leader, a position he held until the end of the race. Kubica's strategy allowed him to pass Massa during their second pit stops, after the latter's Ferrari was forced to change from wet to dry tyres. Räikkönen dropped back from fifth position to ninth after colliding with Adrian Sutil's Force India late in the race. Sutil had started from 18th on the grid and was in fourth position before the incident, which allowed Red Bull driver Mark Webber to finish fourth, ahead of Toro Rosso driver Sebastian Vettel in fifth. The race was Hamilton's second win of the season, his first in Monaco, and the result meant that he led the Drivers' Championship, seven points ahead of Räikkönen and eight ahead of Massa. Ferrari maintained their lead in the Constructors' Championship, 16 points ahead of McLaren and 17 ahead of BMW Sauber, with 12 races of the season remaining. (More...)

Article of the month - 2008 French Grand Prix, current Good Article nominee. The 2008 French Grand Prix (formally the XCIII Grand Prix de France) was a Formula One motor race held on June 22, 2008 at the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours, France. It was the eighth race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 70 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team after starting from second position. Kimi Räikkönen, who started from pole position, finished second in the other Ferrari car; Jarno Trulli was third in a Toyota. Räikkönen and Massa both made a clean start. Renault's Fernando Alonso, who started third, was overtaken by Trulli and BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica. The front three of Räikkönen, Massa and Trulli maintained their positions through the first round of pit stops. On lap 30, Räikkönen led Massa by six and a half seconds, and Trulli by 30 seconds. Just before half distance, Räikkönen's right exhaust pipe broke, which caused the engine to lose power. Massa, in second place, began lapping quicker than Räikkönen, and he caught and passed him on lap 39. Massa maintained his lead through the second round of pit stops, and won the race; Räikkönen finished almost 18 seconds behind. Trulli fended off McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen, who challenged him in the latter stages, to take third. Massa's win promoted him into the lead of the Drivers' Championship for the first time in his career, overtaking Kubica. Kubica was second, two points behind Massa, while Räikkönen was third. In the Constructors' Championship, Ferrari increased their lead to 17 points ahead of BMW Sauber, McLaren a further 16 points behind in third. (More...)

Article of the month - Brabham BT46, current Good Article, after reassessment. The Brabham BT46 was a Formula One racing car, designed by Gordon Murray for the Brabham team, owned by Bernie Ecclestone, for the 1978 Formula One season. The car featured several radical design elements, the most obvious of which was the use of flat panel heat exchangers on the bodywork of the car to replace conventional water and oil radiators. The concept did not work in practice and was removed before the car’s race debut, never to be seen again. The cars, powered by a flat-12 Alfa Romeo engine, raced competitively with modified nose-mounted radiators for most of the year, driven by Niki Lauda and John Watson, winning one race in this form and scoring sufficient points for the team to finish third in the constructors championship. The "B" variant of the car, also known as the "fan car", was introduced at the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix as a counter to the dominant ground effect Lotus 79. The BT46B generated an immense level of downforce by means of a fan, claimed to be for increased cooling, but which also extracted air from beneath the car. The car only raced once in this configuration in the Formula One World Championship—when Niki Lauda won the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix at Anderstorp.

Article of the month - 1995 British Grand Prix, currently listed for a Peer Review. The 1995 British Grand Prix (formally the XLVIII British Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on July 16, 1995 at Silverstone Circuit, Silverstone, Northamptonshire, England. It was the eighth round of the 1995 Formula One season. The race, contested over 61 laps, was won by Johnny Herbert for the Benetton team after starting from fifth position. Jean Alesi finished second in a Ferrari, with David Coulthard third in a Williams car. Herbert's victory was his first in Formula One, and the Benetton team's fifth of the season. The race was dominated, however, by the fight between championship protagonists Michael Schumacher (Benetton) and Damon Hill (Williams). Hill, who started from pole position, retained his lead during the opening stages of the race whilst Schumacher, who started alongside him on the grid, fell behind Alesi in the run to the first corner. Despite being held up behind the slower Ferrari until it pitted, Schumacher used a more favourable one-stop strategy to move ahead of Hill, who made two pit stops for fuel and tyres, on lap 41. Four laps later, Hill attempted to pass Schumacher, but the two collided and were forced to retire from the race. This promoted the battling Herbert and Coulthard into the fight for the lead. Coulthard passed Herbert, but dropped back to third after incurring a stop-go penalty for speeding in the pit lane. (More...)

Article of the month - DAMS GD-01, current Peer Review nominee The DAMS GD-01 was an unraced Formula One car used by the French motorsport team, Driot-Arnoux Motor Sport (DAMS). The GD-01 was designed and built by a collaboration of DAMS and Reynard engineers from 1994 to 1995, and was intended to establish the team—which had achieved considerable success in lower categories—in Formula One, but a continuing lack of finance meant that the team never entered the championship, despite completing construction of the chassis and conducting some testing.

Article of the month - Fittipaldi Automotive, current Good Article Review Fittipaldi Automotive, sometimes called Copersucar after its first major sponsor, was the only Formula One motor racing team and constructor ever to be based in Brazil. It was formed during 1974 by racing driver Wilson Fittipaldi and his younger brother, double world champion Emerson, with money from the Brazilian sugar and alcohol cooperative Copersucar. In 1976 Emerson surprised the motor racing world by leaving the title-winning McLaren team to drive for the unsuccessful family outfit. Future world champion Keke Rosberg took his first podium finish in Formula One with the team. The team was based in São Paulo, almost 6,000 miles (10,000 km) away from the centre of the world motor racing industry in the UK, before moving to Reading, UK during 1974. It participated in 119 grands prix between 1975 and 1982, entering a total of 156 cars. It achieved 3 podiums and scored 44 championship points. (More...)

Article of the month - 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix, current Peer Review candidate. The 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix (formally the XXIII ING Magyar Nagydíj) was a Formula One motor race held on August 3, 2008 at the Hungaroring, Budapest, Hungary. It was the eleventh race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 70 laps, was won by Heikki Kovalainen for the McLaren team after starting from second position. Timo Glock finished second in a Toyota car, with Kimi Räikkönen third in a Ferrari. It marked Kovalainen's first Formula One victory, which made him the sport's 100th driver to win a World Championship race, and it was also Glock's first podium finish. Much of the race, however, was dominated by a duel between Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa, who drove for McLaren and Ferrari respectively. Hamilton started from pole position on the starting grid but was beaten into the first corner by Massa, who passed him around the outside. The two championship protagonists commenced a battle for the lead that was resolved when Hamilton suffered a puncture just over half-way through the race, giving Massa a comfortable lead. The Ferrari's engine, however, failed with three laps of the race remaining, allowing Kovalainen to take the win. (More...)

Article of the month - List of Formula One drivers, kept at Featured List status after review Formula One, abbreviated to F1, is the highest class of open-wheeled auto racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motorsport's world governing body. The "formula" in the name refers to a set of rules to which all participants and cars must conform. The F1 world championship season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, held usually on purpose-built circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets. Drivers are awarded points based on their position in each race, and the driver who accumulates the most points over each calendar year is crowned that year's World Champion. As of the 2009 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, there have been 820 FIA World Championship races since its first event, the 1950 British Grand Prix. Seven-time champion Michael Schumacher holds the record for the most championships, while his 91 wins, 154 podium finishes and 68 pole positions are also records. Rubens Barrichello has entered more Grands Prix than anyone else—288 times in total—as well as having made an unsurpassed 284 race starts. The United Kingdom is the most represented nation, having produced a total of 157 different drivers. Eight nations have been represented by just one. Poland became the latest country to be represented by a driver when Robert Kubica made his Formula One debut at the 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix. (More...)

Article of the month - Grand Prix 2, current Peer Review Grand Prix 2, sometimes known as "GP2" and sold in the American market as Grand Prix II, is a racing simulator released by MicroProse in 1996. It was made under an official FIA license that featured the Formula One 1994 season, with all of the circuits, teams, drivers and cars. The cars were painted with liveries reflecting the races that did not allow tobacco and beer sponsors (i.e. 1994 French Grand Prix). It had 3D texture mapping and SVGA graphics, as well as an early but realistic physics engine. A large community of GP2 enthusiasts formed quickly and still exists today. Grand Prix 2 is recognized as one of the definitive racing simulations of its era. (More...)

Article of the month - 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix, current Featured Article candidate. The 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix (formally the XXIII ING Magyar Nagydíj) was a Formula One motor race held on August 3, 2008, at Hungaroring in Mogyoród, near Budapest, Hungary. It was the 11th race of the 2008 Formula One season. Contested over 70 laps, the race was won by Heikki Kovalainen for the McLaren team, from a second position start. Timo Glock finished second in a Toyota car, with Kimi Räikkönen third in a Ferrari. It marked Kovalainen's first Formula One victory, which made him the sport's 100th driver to win a World Championship race, and Glock's first podium finish. Much of the race, however, was dominated by a duel between Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa, who drove for McLaren and Ferrari respectively. Hamilton started from pole position on the starting grid but was beaten at the first corner by Massa, who passed him around the outside. The two championship protagonists commenced a battle for the lead that was resolved when Hamilton suffered a puncture just over half-way through the race, giving Massa a comfortable lead. The Ferrari's engine, however, failed with three laps of the race remaining, allowing Kovalainen to take the win. (More...)

Article of the month – Ayrton Senna, current B-Class article. Ayrton Senna da Silva, (pronounced [aˈiɾtõ ˈsenɐ da ˈsiwvɐ] ⓘ; São Paulo, March 21, 1960, – Bologna Italy May 1, 1994) was a Brazilian racing driver and three-time Formula One world champion. He was killed in a crash while leading the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, and remains the most recent Grand Prix driver to die at the wheel of a Formula One car. Senna began his motorsport career in karting and moved up the ranks to win the British Formula 3 championship in 1983. Making his Formula One debut with Toleman in 1984, he moved to Lotus-Renault the following year, and won six Grands Prix over the next three seasons. In 1988 he joined Frenchman Alain Prost at McLaren-Honda. Between them, Senna and Prost won fifteen out of the sixteen Grands Prix which took place that season, with Senna winning his first World Championship, a title he would go on to win again in 1990 and 1991. McLaren's performance declined in 1992, as the Williams-Renault combination began to dominate the sport, although Senna won five races to finish as runner-up in 1993. He moved to Williams in 1994, but suffered a fatal accident at the third race of the season at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Italy. Senna is regarded as one of the greatest drivers in the history of Formula One. In 2009, a poll of 217 current and former Formula One drivers chose Senna as their greatest Formula One driver, in a survey conducted by British magazine Autosport. He was recognised for his qualifying speed over one lap and from 1989 until 2006 held the record for most pole positions. He was among the most talented drivers in extremely rain-affected conditions, as shown by his performances in the 1984 Monaco Grand Prix, the 1985 Portuguese Grand Prix, and the 1993 European Grand Prix. He also holds the record for most victories at the prestigious Monaco Grand Prix (6) and is the third most successful driver of all time in terms of race wins. However, Senna courted controversy throughout his career, particularly during his turbulent rivalry with Alain Prost, which was marked by two championship-deciding collisions at the 1989 and 1990 Japanese Grands Prix.
