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.

• Refs checked - 2,3, 29 and 40. Seems fine on spotcheck. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 22:12, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

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)

   Done. It was.

• 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)

   Done. Cut the bit about being the 48th US GP and the 40th running of the US GP, since that's largely just trivia.

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)

   Done. Giraffer (talk) 16:32, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

• 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)

   Done, reworded. Giraffer (talk) 16:32, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

• 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)

  Yep, removed. I got confused with the championship—confusingly, a championship winning constructor is the team who's drivers earned the most points over the season, but a race winning constructor is not the team that scored the most points that race. It's just automatically the team of the winning driver. Giraffer (talk) 16:51, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

  Yeah, it's a bit of a misnomer Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:06, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

• FP3 was the only practice session of the weekend during which all race drivers set lap times. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 22:06, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

   Done, cited the official FP3 timing sheet. Giraffer (talk) 16:32, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

• Overall, article is really well written. Mostly me being picky here. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 22:11, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

Review meta comments

• I'll begin the review as soon as I can! If you fancy returning the favour, I have a list of nominations for review at WP:GAN and WP:FAC, respectively. I'd be very grateful if you were to complete one of these if you get time. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:44, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

  @Lee Vilenski, thank you for the speedy review! I've responded to all your comments. I'm frustratingly short on free time these next few weeks so I probably don't have time to review a GAN of yours now, but I will try to see if I can get to one later. I've never reviewed a GAN, but this is my third nomination, so I think I finally have a decent enough grasp of the process to try my hand at reviewing. Giraffer (talk) 16:55, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
