I don't mean that it needs a citation in the infobox; I mean thatthe fact that the race was 71 laps, and that the 71 laps totaled ~206km/191 miles, is only mentioned in the infobox and lead, not in the body.
he was optimistic over a continuing challenge to McLaren, and that "This is the first year we have been able to do it from the first race." — I don't really know what this means. What continuing challenge? The first year they were able to do what?
Have removed because it adds nothing to the article
Practice
In the first practice session, Barrichello made minor changes to the aerodynamic setup of his car, and was fastest... — Should this be "Barrichello made minor changes to the aerodynamic setup of his car before the first, and was fastest..." (the significant change being "before" rather than "in")?
The McLaren duo of Häkkinen and Coulthard, Michael Schumacher, Villeneuve, Prost's Jean Alesi... — This sentence makes it unclear which team some drivers are on; in particular, it seems to say that Schumacher and Villeneuve were part of a four-driver McLaren duo.
The time limits were that Friday practice sessions lasted for an hour and the Saturday sessions were 45 minutes long. For individual drivers, no time limits existed. MWright96(talk)07:25, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Michael Schumacher went faster to go second — Went faster than what?
he spun under braking for the Senna S chicane — I'm confused here. He under braked for the chicane, and thus spun? Or he spun under (whatever that means) while braking for the chicane? (Note that I slightly reworded this sentence for prose considerations, but am equally confused by both wordings.)
Barrichello in fourth was slower than the McLaren cars in the second sector and lost time due to the stoppage — What is the second sector? And wouldn't everyone have lost time due to the stoppage, not just him?
Is it that Wurz needed a spare car; the spare car was at the time setup for Fisichella; so Wurz took it and had it setup for him?
Wurz had to take the spare car because his previous one stalled. It is not stated in any of the sources that Wurz had the spare Benetton car setup for him after it was setup for Fisichella, so I have removed that piece of information. MWright96(talk)07:53, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Got it. My confusion here was that I was reading the sentence to mean "after Wurz took the spare car, it was set up for Fisichella," rather than "Wurz took the spare car, which had previously been set up for Fisichella."
Race
Wurz began from the pit lane — Meaning he was getting his car fixed while the race started? Ouch.
My question is what they were appealing; did the sanctioning body say something like "there's too much wear on the boards; that's a violation of XYZ regulation; and therefore you're disqualified," and the drivers appealed that disqualification? Or something else.
The record for the youngest driver to score a Formula One World Championship point is currently held — I would rephrase to "as of 2020" (assuming that is still correct).
Got it, thanks for clarifying. I take it the ‡ has some sort of benefit beyond just being a symbol that can be seen? Otherwise, it would be duplicative since it only appears directly next to points totals, the existence of which it is intended to indicate.
MWright96, passing this now. There's a lingering question above ("set laps"), but that's mostly out of my curiosity. Hopefully you take this article to FAC; feel free to drop me a line if you do. --Usernameunique (talk) 08:12, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
