Report fails to point out a fact

In the main article, under the subject of Race...

It mentions Martin Brundle was behind them and unable to slow sufficiently, hitting the rear of Herbert's and Coulthard's cars and was launched into a barrel roll, ending in a sand trap at turn 3 and breaking his car in two. Brundle was unhurt. The race was halted to allow the circuit to be cleared.[8][4]

The race was restarted. Brundle spun off after light contact with Pedro Diniz. ''

Point of note: If Brundle crashed and his car broken in half, then as soon as race was restarted, how is he supposed to be racing? If he got into a spare car, the details fails to mention this. The report needs to be clear that Brundle got himself a spare car, and need to outline if he was allowed to do so.

Herbert's race result

Sources disagree regarding Herbert's race result:

• formula1.com (archived) lists his result as "DNS"
• formula1.com (current) omits him altogether (which suggests "DNS")
• FORIX (subscription site) lists his result as "Not started"
• chicanef1.com lists his result as "ret (not started)"
• grandprix.com lists his result as "r" (their abbreviation for "retired"), and
• StatsF1 lists his result as "ab" (their abbreviation for "retired").

We currently show his result in all the relevant articles as "Ret". Given that formula1.com, FORIX and ChicaneF1 all give it as (some variation of) "did not start", I'm inclined to think we should too. Thoughts? DH85868993 (talk) 09:34, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

• I believe DNS is more appropriate. 5225_C (talk • contributions) 10:44, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

Official FIA statistics also list him as DNS. 5225_C (talk • contributions) 10:45, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

• Small 3rd ed. (2000) states: 'dns/ret'. Overall I believe DNS may be more appropriate as a re-started race. Eagleash (talk) 11:19, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

OK. I think there's a pretty clear consensus for "DNS". I've updated the relevant articles. Thank you both for your input. DH85868993 (talk) 01:22, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
