Looking at the source, this is incorrect. The altitude was considered high, not low, and so there was less oxygen to power the combustion engines. I've edited accordingly.
Ferrari led with 50 points, seven ahead of Williams in second place. McLaren were another 30 points behind in third. — A bit more math than I'd like to do while perusing. Can you just state how many McLaren had?
The rewording only affects prose. It still does not explain whether "overall track lap record" indeed means the track's all-time record. It also does not state what time he beat, who set the previous time, and when that time was set.
Bernoldi missed 25 minutes due to a malfunctioning gearbox. He lost control of the rear of his car at Remus corner and beached in a gravel trap before the session ended. — So they repaired the gearbox, he got back on the track, and then he decided to take a closer look at the gravel?
After running wide on oil and an unsighted Mika Salo's Toyota putting him in a gravel trap at Remus Kurve turn on his final timed lap, Barrichello took his second pole position of the season and the fifth of his career with a lap of 1 minute and 8.082 seconds. — I'm pretty confused by this sentence. What does "running wide on oil mean"? What's "an unsighted Mika Salo's Toyota"? Surely "Kurve turn" is redundant? And the sentence starts with Barrichello's bad last lap, then surprises the reader by saying he actually did quite well. Perhaps start with his fast lap, then talk about his last lap.
did not earn a front-row start for the first time since the 2001 Italian Grand Prix. — How many races ago was that? And just to confirm, a front-row start is being one of the top two?
Ron Dennis ... argued Ferrari should permit their drivers to race each other without the imposition of team orders — Was there any more discussion about this before the race? What made him say it here? Is it a common thing for someone to say before a race, but team orders are only invoked rarely?
This improved Schumacher's position in the World Drivers' Championship with a win earning him ten points. — Feels like we're getting ahead of ourselves here, since he still had 8 laps to go.
Ferrari advised Barrichello they would terminate his contract if he failed to do so. Barrichello reminded Todt of a promise he made not to relinquish a victory to a driver. This prompted Todt to reply to Barrichello that he was required to obey his instruction to preserve Ferrari's "best interests". — Ouch. This conversation actually played out over the radio? They didn't think to have the conversation ahead of time?
Todt then wrote a small paper note, which he gave to the technical director Ross Brawn, with the instruction for Barrichello to cede the win to Michael Schumacher. — Why was the note required? Hadn't he already told Barrichello to stand down?
Montoya completed the podium in third — I'd add how far behind he was; in reading about the Barrichello and Schumacher hitting the brakes, my first thought was to wonder how far back the third-place driver was.
It was the second year in succession that Barrichello had been asked to relinquish a position to his teammate Michael Schumacher — I would move this note up to the previous paragraph.
The photographs do a good job of breaking up the text. You might think about choosing some places to add subsections, although they would of course be somewhat arbitrary. No harm if you keep it as is.
divided into equal amounts between the trio — So Barrichello had to pay $166,666 for losing? Double ouch.
Well for standing on the wrong step of the podium because Schumacher implored him to do so as a way of demonstrating to all that Barrichello was the moral winner of the race MWright96(talk)07:40, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The FIA accepted feedback from 5 July to 1 September, which the working group accepted. — I'm not sure if the second clause is redundant, or if you're trying to say that the FIA accepted feedback and then passed it onto the working group.
The parallels between how Michael Schumacher and Alonso won those races proved to be the catalyst — The parallels proved to be the catalyst, or just the realization that it probably happened frequently without overt evidence?
we'd had the discussion before the race about how we would manage that situation if it occurred — Then what about the back-and-forth between Barrichello and Todt?
@Usernameunique: Have made changes were possible. In response to asking whether it is redundant to mention turn names, I have changed them to a generic meaning since their names have changed but mentioning where on the circuit an overtake or accident happened is not redundant.

Thanks, MWright96. I'll go through the responses tomorrow. What I meant about the redundancy is that, taking "Remus Kurve turn" for an example, it basically means "Remus Corner turn"; "corner" and "turn" mean the same thing here. So I would think just "Remus Kurve" and similar would do. --Usernameunique (talk) 07:47, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
