[edit] Redundant paragraph?

"Nick's 2005 season will be hard to beat in 2006, as he is racing for a team which are expected to be in mid-grid. However, the team are expected to improve with BMW's presence and Nick, with a three year contract, is expecting to be challenging for wins by 2008."

Is this section still necessary? It sounds like it was meant to be temporary for the period in between the 2005 and 2006 seasons, but it's still there!--Diniz 20:19, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2000 European Grand Prix: DSQ or EX?

The F1 results table in this article had Heidfeld as "disqualified" from the 2000 European Grand Prix. Actually, he was "excluded" for failing the post-qualifying weighing (the car was two kilos underweight). I was not aware of this until BleuDXXXIV's edit of the Drivers' result table in 2000 Formula One season. Bleu changed Heidfeld's result from "DSQ" to "EX" there, with the reasoning that it should be "EX" because he never started the race. However, Heidfeld had qualified 13th; barring him from the race seems to be "disqualification" in the literal sense of the word. I edited this article's results table to match the edit that BleuDXXXIV made, but now I'm unsure. I'll self-revert it for now. What do you all think? --Majin Izlude 17:13, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

www.formula1.com has him as disqualified in the official results archive here.--Diniz 17:50, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Add given name 'Nicklaus'

In the past, I added Nick's given name, 'Nicklaus'. Someone apparently removed this for some reason. I'd like to add it again, but perhaps there's evidence against his name being Nicklaus? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.177.157.82 (talk) 15:18, 19 March 2007 (UTC).
