Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Prose

Lede

at the Circuit of the Americas near Austin, Texas - wait is it not in Austin? Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:46, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It served as the eighteenth round of the 2018 Formula One World Championship and marked the forty-eighth running of the United States Grand Prix, the fortieth time that the race ran as a World Championship event, and the seventh time that it was held at this circuit. - this is a bit of a run-on. I think to the uniniciated, they wouldn't know that the US race was on different circuits. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:48, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

General

Even if you link something in the lede, it should also be linked in the body on first usage. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:55, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
having won every race at the track since it joined the calendar but one—the 2013 event, won by Sebastian Vettel - sensationalism. Just say they won four out of five or whatever. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:56, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Mercedes were the dominant constructor at the circuit, with an ongoing streak of four consecutive wins. - isn't this a given? Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 22:05, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
FP3 was the only practice session of the weekend during which all race drivers set lap times.^{[citation needed]} Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 22:06, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Overall, article is really well written. Mostly me being picky here. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 22:11, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
