Rewrite race recap

The current race recap appears to copy a lot of text from the F1 recap. I'm rewriting it to use original wording. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 19:47, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The "Tyre choices" section could be improved because to non-F1 fans, as written it's meaningless. By clarifying that, for an F1 season, the options available are C1, C2, C3, C4 & C5. C1 would always be the "hard" tyre but C2 or C3 could be designated as the "hard" tyre for a race as well. This week (Jeddah), C2 is the hard tyre, thus C3 is the medium & C4 is the soft. And next race C3 could be designated as the hard tyre, so C4 would be the medium & C5 would be the soft. So in 3 consecutive races C3 could be either the hard, medium or soft tyre (depending on Pirelli's decision after studying the track, temperature, etc). 2601:645:C200:ACA0:48FB:9438:9142:F3AC (talk) 14:44, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Such an in-depth explanation would be WP:UNDUE here. We are aware this section is jargon heavy, but it is very difficult to explain the detail without rambling on endlessly, which is why we have a further information link to Formula One tyres where all this is already explained.

I'll take this one. P.S. I am reviewing a lot of GANs, so expect initial remarks in 24-48 hours. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 18:03, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect, thank you. Giraffer (talk) 19:29, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Background

Regulation Changes- Remove first para
Driver changes- Valtteri Bottas ... the end of 2021, with: Axe, both this and above relate more to the season as a whole.(and change the grammar of the remaining para, of course)
Partly done. I got rid of the first paragraph, but I'm not entirely sure what you want me to do with the second... I can cut the bit about Raikkonen if that's what you mean, but if the paragraph as a whole stays, Bottas' move should be mentioned, otherwise it gets confusing.

Qualifying

Q3/Para 3- Mention Perez as well, as he is the only one left in the top ten.

Race

Add that Leclerc and Ferrari started leading the WDC, for the first and after this much time, and maybe how long they kept it in the season
Done, added a short paragraph (to the post race section; this isn't strictly about the race) about how long Ferrari would hold the championships for, and how long it was since they held either. These kind of things can be difficult to find a source for (i.e. nothing specifically states that Ferrari did not lead the WCC between 2018 and 2022), but since F1 race results are easily verifiable this should be self-evident. Giraffer (talk) 21:19, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Post-race

Add that Ferrari was ecstatic perhaps; that seemed big at the moment, maybe there are reliable sources for it too?
Did these teams say anything else?
Did any other teams say anything else? Add if anything important was said.
Done, the coverage of this win was surprisingly moderate in tone, but I've added in a few more celebratory quotes from Ferrari. I re-read the sources and think I covered all the main points that aren't just drivers regurgitating facts. All drivers do media interviews, but they are rarely given written coverage outside of the podium contenders. Giraffer (talk) 21:19, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

References

Are StatsF1 and f1destinations.com reliable?
Wikilink the ref sources everywhere or nowhere, per MOS:CONSISTENT
Use one of either Formula 1 or formula1.com, again per MOS:CONSISTENT
I'll do the spot-check later.
I've standardized the wikilinking and naming on all the references and replaced the f1destinations.com link. It was referring to a press release by the Bahrain International Circuit, which is the only source -- generally tracks count their own attendance, and it doesn't get reported on much (in this case at all). The BIC source isn't ideal but it's more reliable. I've changed the StatsF1 source to the official FIA results document. Giraffer (talk) 22:10, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overall

@Giraffer:In general- Expand article wherever possible; add more detail wherever possible. It's a very well written article. I do not see any major isssues.DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 07:11, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
