I'll start reviewing this article to celebrate the new F1 championship. I'll be leaving suggestions/inquiries from tomorrow, if everything goes to plan. After I end reviewing it, I'll put the article on hold for up to seven days to allow the nominator to address any concerns.

I had some problems, let's see if I can start the review today/tomorrow. In any case, there's little chance the F1 will srart this weekend, it seems. --Urbanoc (talk) 15:02, 12 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
Well, the article just needs a couple of minor edits max. I could make them myself per WP:BOLD, but I'll leave the nominator do it, that way he can give feedback on the points if he sees it relevant. --Urbanoc (talk) 02:42, 14 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Well, let's begin. I'll divide my review into two main sections: General comments and Specific comments. I recommend you to wait until I put the article on hold before making changes, as I'll be slowly introducing suggestions and questions.

General comments

edit

Prose and MoS

edit

Mostly OK with guidelines. I'll be leaving some minor nitpicking in the Specific comments section.

References layout

edit

It seems OK for the GA criteria.

Original research and reliable sources

edit

The article doesn't seem to have original research, as the claims are backed by the sources given (at least most of them, as I checked). Sources themselves, on the other hand, seemed in a first scrutine the weakest point of the otherwise very solid article content, some being somewhat of a lesser quality. Very few, but they are there. However, after consideration and contrasting against policy, my opinion is that they are reliable enough as backing for the claims being made. The potentially contentious claims are backed by sources widely regarded as reputable, as Autosport.

Broadness and focus

edit

The article covers most details of the race, without being overkill.

Neutral

edit

No significant bias as far as I see. All opinions are attributed in text.

Stable

edit

It doesn't seem to be a heavily edited article, and most of the later edits are by you. There's no aparent content dispute.

Images

edit

No problems there. Although, I wonder if there's a better picture of Schumacher you can use. If you have reasons to use that particular one, ignore this comment.

Overall

edit

A quite good article, without any relevant flaw. At this point, I have no doubts it will pass.

Specific comments

edit

Race section

edit
  • Verstappen then bettered his own fastest lap to a 1-minute and 13.282 seconds on the following lap as he passed Coulthard for fifth.

Why the hyphen? The rest of the article doesn't seem to use it. Is there a special reason? If not, I recommend to remove it.

  • An attempt by Barrichello to pass his teammate Michael Schumacher on lap six almost resulted in at the Remus Kurve turn.

I strongly suggest to add "contact" after "in".
