[edit] Moving formula one to its own page

At some point we should consider moving the formula one info to a page in its own right (say [[[Montjuïc circuit]] for example), ideally with more information about the track, details of the F1 races and any other races that took place there, and I think more about the horrible accident the article describes. Personally I don't have any problem with that info remaining here, but I suppose it's rather weird for someone browsing the F1 pages to find themselves reading about political executions. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 23:49, July 16, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks to user:Matthead, who had the presence of mind to Babelfish the Spanish language version. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 12:00, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The "non functioning" tower

The article said that Calatrava's tower was "non functional". I've removed this snippet, pending a citation to that effect. The online resources I've consulted about it (including [1], [2], and [3]) make no mention of its not being functional. It was apparently built by Telefonica and the microwave antennas are concealed inside the horizontal arc section. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 23:49, July 16, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Some information is missing

CarlosRibeiro 14:21, 9 February 2006 (UTC):

• How high is the hill? I mean, being a hill, this is one important piece of information. I belive it's not very high, but it is relatively high considering the city below it. I would like to know by how much.
• The article states that the Español team would leave the statium at Montjuïc, probably in 2005. We're already in 2006. Is this information confirmed?

• According to the Catalan language Viquipèdia ca:Montjuïc_(Barcelona) measures 173m at the highest point.
• The Espanyol football team hasn't left the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys yet (yesterday they played a game there), because the stadium they're building in Cornellà isn't yet finished. So information about that issue is outdated. --62.57.90.7 15:34, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

If the photo dated "Thursday, April 20, 2006 - 10:34:59" at [4] is accurate it appears that the new stadium won't be ready any time soon. I'll update the article to relect that. Ruudboy 12:08, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
