Lead

[edit]
  • ...the 16th edition of the event as part of the series. - This isn't entirely clear on what series we are talking about here.
  • ...Ferrari driver Michael Schumacher from a pole position start. - Maybe you could change this to, Ferrari driver Michael Schumacher from pole position.
  • ...second, and the - We don't really need the comma here.
  • ...his fifth in row in Formula One - Forget the a between in and row
  • He maintained the lead at the start of the race and for the next four laps. - You could probably change this too: "He maintained the lead until lap five...
  • Following this, the first race of the season, Michael Schumacher... - You probably don't need "the first race of the season" as it was already mentioned in the first paragraph that it was the first race.

Background

[edit]
  • ...round as part of the series. - Again I assume this is a part of the F1 World Championship.
  • Of the 11 teams and 22 drivers on the starting grid,... - You could actually drop the 11 teams part so it might go: From the 22 drivers on the starting grid,...
  • The third rookie driver in the 2001 driver line-up was... - This part of the sentence feels like it might not be needed, especially when you didn't mentioned the second driver in the previous sentence.
  • Many observers, including Jaguar's Eddie Irvine, Button and the president of the sport's... - I feel like this sentence might need a reference instead of being bare.
  • ...becoming illegal slick tyres albeit the FIA declined to enforce a regulation... - I feel like this section might be worth a comma just to take a breather before carrying on.

Practice

[edit]
  • Barrichello was the fastest driver with a lap of 1 minute 29.056 seconds... - Change this to Rubens Barrichello and link it as it's the first one in the main section of the page.
  • Seven minutes into the session, Tarso Marques' engine failed and laid oil on the track. - Did this bring out any flags because I assume it would with laying oil out on the track.
  • Red flags were unfurled after 35 minutes when... - Maybe change this word to something that wouldn't need to check what it means.
  • I feel like the final paragraph is a bit too brief for the two practice sessions which was held on the Saturday.

Qualifying

[edit]
  • Häkkinen had pole position early on albeit balance problems put him off the track at the bumpy turn one and he qualified third. - This section properly needs to be a bit clearer.
  • ...as his best lap was 1.846 seconds off Michael Schumacher's pace; - What about changing into with his best lap being 1.846 seconds off Michael Schumacher's pace;

Warm-up

[edit]
  • Seems fine here

Race

[edit]
  • ...128,500 spectators from 14:00 local time - Shouldn't be this "at 14:00 local time."
  • In the following sentence you could remove reference 43 from that sentence as it was already covered with reference 44.
  • ...predicted to affect the race. Analysis suggested a solitary pit stop... - In theory, you could combine these two sentences into one.
  • Button used the spare Benetton. His mechanics... - The Button sentence I feel seems a bit too short to have on it's own as it could be merged with the following sentence.
  • He lost several positions and almost made contact... - You have two sentences in a row which starts with "he". Just putting it out there.
  • ...turn two and pirouetted into a barrier to the... - You have pirouetted in this sentence which is fine until you realize that you had change that word to spin further up in the section. Consistency is all I can say here.
  • ...in his slipstream, and - You have a comma following the "and" in this part of the sentence so I assume you wanted to go ...in his slipstream and Ralf Schumacher...
  • ...detached from the car, and - Remove the comma here
  • ...and lung and liver lacerations - This is just a personal thought but two and's within three words of each other doesn't look right.
  • ...to move to 10th place on lap 17 - to move to tenth place on lap 17.
  • ...under braking for the end of the back... - under braking at the end of the back
  • ...now had a ten-second advantage... - now held a ten-second advantage instead of what it currently is.
  • ...increase his pace and became the fastest driver. - This bit is unclear.

Post-race

[edit]
  • Out of respect Beveridge's death,... - It should be Out of respect for Beveridge's death

Death of Graham Beveridge and inquiries

[edit]
  • Beveridge was survived by his wife and three adult children. - This sentence needs to be worded better as "survived" is the right word in this sentence.

Coronial inquest

[edit]
  • Looks fine here

Doctor's inquest

[edit]
  • Looks fine here
