Christopher Craft - DNQ or DNS?[edit]

From Craft's profile - "He did not qualify for his first World Championship race (the 1971 Canadian Grand Prix at Mosport Park) but would have been able to start the race following the withdrawal of two other drivers due to accidents in the raceday warmup sessions. However, his own car suffered engine trouble, denying him the opportunity."

That sounds more like a Did Not Start than a Did Not Qualify, unless he had already withdrawn the car as unraceworthy before the warmup session?--MartinUK (talk) 10:37, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We had a discussion about this in 2011 and in the absence of really good evidence that his result should be "DNS", we ended up going with "DNQ", per the majority of reliable sources (FORIX, formula1.com (at the time), ChicaneF1, Mike Lang's Grand Prix! and GEL Motorsport).
