Does anyone think that that GIF is pretty ugly? I would try and find photos on Flickr (as I usually do) and replace it. Anyone object? Zwerg Nase (talk) 21:12, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

General

[edit]
  • One thing I keep noting in your articles is that you sometimes spell the drivers' full names out after the first instance. It's best to avoid this.

Lead

[edit]
  • The first mention of team-mate should be unhyphened as is seen in the rest of the article for consistency.
  • "Max Verstappen won the race upon his debut for his new team Red Bull, having swapped his Toro Rosso seat with Daniil Kvyat ahead of the race." - try to avoid repetition of the word "race"; in the second instance it should be "event".
Both  Done

Free practice

[edit]
  • "two ninety-minute practice sessions" -ninety-minute should be spelt in number form per MOS:NUMBERS for consistency with high-value numbers as is seen in the article.
 Done
  • "The Mercedes of Rosberg and Hamilton followed," - This may sound better: "Mercedes teammates Rosberg and Hamilton followed,"
 Done
  • "Force India's Sergio Pérez managed only nine laps as he spent much of the session in the pits after smoke emerged from the rear of his car." - pits is slang and should be avoided, pit lane is better.
 Done
  • "Upon beginning his preparation laps for qualifying, Rosberg had to come back into the pits," - ditto.
 Done

Qualifying

[edit]
  • fifty-second should be spelt in number form.
According to MOS:NUMERAL, fifty-second is acceptable.
  • "The two Red Bulls - Red Bull cars
 Done

Race

[edit]
  • "When Vettel pitted on lap 16," -pitted is slang, rewrite to "made a pit stop"
 Done
  • "he emerged third behind the two Red Bulls," - as in the qualifying section, change to "Red Bull cars"
 Done
  • "By lap twenty," - should be spelt in number form for consistency.
 Done
