[edit] Featured content
- For All Featured content on Wikipedia, see Wikipedia:Featured content
Some of the content supported by WikiProject Formula One has reached featured article, featured list or featured picture status (FA,FL and FP, respectively), meaning they are amongst the very best content in Wikipedia. They are listed below; a bold title indicates the article was "today's featured article" for the date listed. Also included here are articles that are either featured article candidates (FAC), FAC's that failed, those that have undergone peer review (PR) as part of an effort to get them to FA status, and those that have achieved good article (GA) status, the next-highest level of quality.

[edit] Types of articles
[edit] Formula One and its series
Current Season Summary: |
Articles related to Formula One:
History of Formula One |
Lists: |
The sport's primary article is the "top" article of a series which includes five other related topics. The Wikipedians who created these articles intended to divide the topic of Formula One into specific subtopics, and chose the five topics they thought would best accomplish this goal. The appropriateness of the subtopics is open to discussion.
All six articles should include the template {{Formula One}} at the top.
- Formula One is the main article for the sport, including general information; summaries of the articles on history, cars, and racing; general sections on drivers/constructors, grands prix, and circuits; a section noting the important people in F1's history; a 2004 season section; and a section on the Future of F1.
- History of Formula One - the sport's history, in detail. This should include major regulation changes, major technical advances, and the most important drivers and constructors of each era.
- Formula One cars - a detailed description of the modern F1 car. Information about historical F1 cars belongs in the History article.
- Formula One racing - the schedule and procedure of an F1 grand prix weekend; information about racing strategy.
- Formula One regulations - both current and historical information on the FIA's technical and sporting regulations.
- Future of Formula One - a look at proposed changes to the sport and new regulations for future seasons.
[edit] Lists
There are thirteen Formula One-related lists. These should be historically complete, and include the template {{Formula One}}. Each, when updated, should also be marked "Accurate as of [date]" in order to assist future editors.
- List of Formula One drivers
- List of Formula One constructors
- List of Formula One World Champions
- List of Formula One Grands Prix - The races on this list should match those listed on Template:Formula One races.
- List of Formula One circuits
- List of Formula One people
- List of Formula One records
- List of Formula One engines
- List of Formula One World Championship pointscoring systems
- List of Formula One fatal accidents
- List of Formula One broadcasters
[edit] Race reports
A long-term goal of this project is to create articles containing a summary of every Formula One race since the sport's inception in 1950.
Thanks to a bot written by Bill Cook, articles containing full classifications of every past race now exist, but most need summaries and many need standardization.
The standard structure may be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Formula One/Example race report. The wikitext is annotated with comments and may be copied to assist with the creation of a new report.
There are currently two applicable infobox templates for race report articles:
-
- Template:F1 race report infobox - For World Championship races
- Template:Generic race report infobox - For non-Championship races
One or the other should be used at the top of each race report page, according to the event's World Championship status. Cut and paste pro forma are available at the template discuassion page for each.
[edit] Seasons
This article type is more or less under development. See 2005 Formula One season for a very nifty work-in-progress. Once the season is complete, we will establish standards.
[edit] Grands Prix
There should be a complete article on every race which has been a part of the Formula One calendar since the series started in 1950 (see List of Formula One Grands Prix). Each article should contain:
- At the top, an infobox:
{{F1 race | Name = [[Australia|Australian]] Grand Prix | Flag = Australia_flag_large.png | Circuit = [[Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit]] | Circuit_image = Australiagprix.png | Laps = 58 | Circuit_length_km = 5.30 | Circuit_length_mi = 3.30 | Race_length_km = 307.57 | Race_length_mi = 191.12 | Current_year = 2004 | Winning_time = 1:24'15.757 | Winner = [[Michael Schumacher]] | Winning_team = [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]] | Pole_time = 1'24.408 | Pole_driver = [[Michael Schumacher]] | Pole_team = [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]] | Fastest_lap = 1'24.125 | Fastest_lap_driver = [[Michael Schumacher]] | Fastest_lap_team = [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]] }}
- History. This should cover all F1 races held under that name, and should note changes in venue, and the reasons for the change. The history should also cover races from other series held under the same name, if applicable.
- A reverse-chronological list of winners in table format, including year, driver, constructor, location, and links to the relevant race reports, formatted thus:
Year | Driver | Constructor | Location | Report |
---|---|---|---|---|
2005 | Giancarlo Fisichella | Renault | Melbourne | Report |
2004 | Michael Schumacher | Ferrari | Melbourne | Report |
{| class="wikitable" style="font-size: 95%;" |- ! Year ! Driver ! Constructor ! Location ! Report |- ! [[2005 Formula One season|2005]] | [[Giancarlo Fisichella]] | [[Renault Sport|Renault]] | [[Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit|Melbourne]] | [[2005 Australian Grand Prix|Report]] |- ! [[2004 Formula One season|2004]] | [[Michael Schumacher]] | [[Ferrari]] | [[Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit|Melbourne]] | [[2004 Australian Grand Prix|Report]] |}
- If a grand prix was only run once, there need not be a table of winners; instead, the race report article should redirect to the race's article, and the article should be structured like a race report.
- If a grand prix was run as a non-Championship event in some years (e.g. Moroccan Grand Prix), then those years should be highlighted in pink in the results chart.
- At the bottom, the template {{Formula One races}}.
- All articles on F1 grands prix should be also part of Category:Formula One Grands Prix.
[edit] Circuits
- All F1 circuit articles (i.e. any circuit ever used for an F1 race) should include an infobox:
{{F1 circuit| Name = Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit | Location = [[Albert Park]], [[Melbourne]], [[Australia]] | Time = [[GMT]] +/- 00 | Image = [[Image:Australiagprix.png|230px]] | Events = [[Formula One]]; [[V8 Supercar]]s; [[Carrera Cup]]; [[Formula Ford]] | Length_km = 5.30 | Length_mi = 3.30 | Turns = 16 | Record_time = 1'24.125 | Record_driver = [[Michael Schumacher]] | Record_team = [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]] | Record_year = [[2004]] }}
- All articles on F1 circuits should be also part of Category:Formula One circuits.
[edit] Drivers
- All articles on F1 drivers should be part of Category:Formula One drivers and should contain the appropriate infobox, {{F1 driver}} or {{Former F1 driver}}.
- Example of {{F1 driver}} from Fernando Alonso:
{{F1 driver| Name = Fernando Alonso | Image = [[Image:Alonso_usgp_2004_pits.jpg|222px]] | Caption = Fernando Alonso | Nationality = {{flagicon|ESP}} [[Spain|Spanish]] | Car number = 1 | Team = [[McLaren|Vodafone McLaren Mercedes]] | Team for 2007 = [[McLaren|Vodafone McLaren Mercedes]] | Races = 88 | Championships = 2 ([[2005 Formula One season|2005]], [[2006 Formula One season|2006]]) | Wins = 15 | Podiums = 37| Poles = 15 | Fastest laps = 8 | First race = [[2001 Australian Grand Prix]] | First win = [[2003 Hungarian Grand Prix]] | Last win = [[2006 Japanese Grand Prix]] | Last race = [[2006 Brazilian Grand Prix]] | Last season = 2006 | Last position = 1st (134 pts)| Career points = 381 }}
- Example of {{Former F1 driver}} from Ayrton Senna:
{{Former F1 driver| Name = Ayrton Senna | Image = Sennabw.jpg | Nationality = Brazilian | Years = 1984 - 1994 | Team(s) = [[Toleman|Toleman Hart]], [[Lotus Cars|Lotus]], [[Team McLaren|McLaren]], [[WilliamsF1|Williams]] | Races = 161 | Championships = 3 | Wins = 41 | Podiums = 80 | Poles = 65 | Fastest laps = 19 | First race = [[1984 Brazilian Grand Prix|1984]] [[Brazilian Grand Prix]] | First win = [[1985 Portuguese Grand Prix|1985]] [[Portuguese Grand Prix]] | Last win = [[1993 Australian Grand Prix|1993]] [[Australian Grand Prix]] | Last race = [[1994 San Marino Grand Prix|1994]] [[San Marino Grand Prix]] | }}
[edit] Constructors
- All constructors' articles should be categorised as Category:Formula One constructors and should have an infobox, {{F1 team}}, at the top:
{{F1 team | Short_name = Williams | Long_name = [[BMW]].WilliamsF1 Team | Logo = [[Image:BMW.WilliamsF1 Team.png|250px]] | Base = [[Grove, Oxfordshire|Grove]], [[Oxfordshire]], [[United Kingdom]] | Principal = [[Frank Williams]] | Director = [[Sam Michael]] | Drivers = 3. [[Juan Pablo Montoya]] <br /> 4. [[Ralf Schumacher]] | Test_drivers = [[Antonio Pizzonia]] <br /> [[Marc Gené]] | Chassis = Williams FW26 | Engine = [[BMW]] P84 | Tyres = [[Michelin]] | Debut = [[1978 Argentine Grand Prix|1978]] [[Argentine Grand Prix]] | Races = 496 | Cons_champ = 9 ([[1980]], [[1981]], [[1986]], [[1987]], [[1992]], [[1993]], [[1994]], [[1996]], [[1997]]) | Drivers_champ = 7 ([[1980]], [[1982]], [[1987]], [[1992]], [[1993]], [[1996]], [[1997]]) | Wins = 113 | Poles = 124 | Fastest_laps = 127 | Last_season = 2004 | Last_position = 4th (88 points) }}
[edit] Cars
- All Formula One car articles need to be categorised either under the general Category:Formula One cars or the specific manufacturer category, and should have an infobox, {{Racing car}}, at the top:
{{Racing car | Car_name = Tyrrell 006 | Logo = [[Image:Tyrrell.gif]] | Category = [[Formula One]] | Constructor = [[Tyrrell Racing|Tyrrell Racing Organisation]] | Designer = [[Derek Gardner]] | Team = [[Tyrrell Racing|Elf Team Tyrrell]] | Drivers = [[François Cevert]],<br>[[Jackie Stewart]],<br>[[Patrick Depailler]],<br>[[Jody Scheckter]] | Chassis = [[Aluminium]] [[monocoque]] | Front suspension = [[Double wishbone suspension|Double wishbone]], outboard [[Spring (device)| spring]]/[[shock absorber|damper]]. | Rear suspension = Single top-link, parallel lower-links, twin [[Radius rod|radius arms]], outboard [[Spring (device)|spring]]/[[shock absorber|damper]]. | Engine name = [[Ford]]-[[Cosworth DFV]] | Capacity = 2993[[cubic centimetre|cc]] | Configuration = [[V8 engine|V8]] | Turbo/NA = [[naturally aspirated]] | Engine position = [[Mid-engine]]d, [[longitudinal engine| longitudianlly mounted]] | Gearbox name = [[Hewland]] FG400 | Gears = 5-speed | Type = [[Manual transmission|manual]] | Differential = [[ZF Friedrichshafen|ZF]] [[Differential (mechanics)|differential]] | Fuel = [[Elf Aquitaine|Elf]] | Tyres = [[Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company|Goodyear]] | Debut = [[1972 Canadian Grand Prix]],<br>[[Mosport Park]]. | Races = 18 | Wins = 5 | Cons_champ = 0 | Drivers_champ = '''1''' ([[1973 Formula One season|1973]]) | Poles = 3 | Fastest_laps = 2 | }}
For an unformatted, cut-and-paste pro forma, please see this template's talk page. For Formula One articles, most details should be available. Otherwise simply leave blank any unknown fields and enter n/a for irrelevant or highly variable fields. Many customer cars will have had highly variable set up, I would suggest using either the most common configuration (if such a thing exists) or simply stating a brief range of options in leiu of precise specifications.
[edit] People
... nothing yet :-)
[edit] Updating
Since Formula One is a constantly-changing subject, its pages need constant updating. The following guidelines should help when updating F1-related articles.
[edit] After a race
- Add the name and team of the winner to the table in the article on the relevant race, e.g. Monaco Grand Prix.
- Also update the race info box with the winner, pole and fastest lap.
- Create a race report article containing the complete classification, e.g. 2005 Monaco Grand Prix.
- Add the name and team of the winner to the relevant season article, e.g. 2005 Formula One season.
- Update the relevant statistics on the articles of the winning driver and their team.
- Update the statistics of all competing drivers in the infobox in their articles and on the list of Formula One drivers.
- Add an outline page for the next race, containing dates, location, and F1 race report table.
[edit] After a season
- Add the name and statistcs of the drivers champions to the list of Formula One World Drivers' Champions and constructors champions to the list of Formula One World Constructors' Champions.
- As drivers for the following season are decided, add new drivers' names to the List of Formula One drivers and to their teams' articles. Add the names of new teams to the List of Formula One constructors.
- When the FIA releases the next season's calendar, update the List of Formula One Grands Prix.
- Update Template:Formula One teams and Template:Formula One races as information becomes available.
[edit] Templates
