Rindt in 1968
- ... that Jochen Rindt (pictured) is the only driver to win the Formula One World Drivers' Championship posthumously?

Good to go. Everything checks out: interesting, recently promoted to GA, long enough, neutral, and sourced. The image looks fine and there is no QPQ since you only have three DYKs. Yash! 04:55, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
- I don't know if you've thought of it but ever thought of getting this at the special occasion holding area for March 20 (first race of the 2016 Formula One season (2016 Australian Grand Prix)). Donnie Park (talk) 15:45, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Donnie Park: I don't think that the specific connection to Rindt is strong enough. If it were his birth or death day coming up soon, that would have been something else. Zwerg Nase (talk) 15:51, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
This is a very good article and hook. But the chart information under Racing record needs citations. Where did you find all this information? Yoninah (talk) 23:33, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

F2Indy might need a little more research...and possibly multiple sources. Eagleash (talk) 05:42, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

@Eagleash: Thank you for your swift work! I will source the non-cham. races with the Jochen Rindt website, which has all racing records.
- @Yoninah: While we provide sources now, I would like to point out that this is not usually done in the WikiProject F1. Why, I do not know, but even an FA such as Damon Hill has no specific references for the result tables. Zwerg Nase (talk) 08:19, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you very much. Just waiting on the cite for the Non-Championship Formula One results chart, and then ready to promote. Yoninah (talk) 11:23, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: @Eagleash: I have now simply entered the result page of jochenrindt.com as a reference. Unfortunately, once you follow the link one still has to click on "Formula 1" to get to the specific results and there is no direct link to that. Alternatively, I could give all the single race pages as refenrences, but that would flood the row with citations, which I would find weird. I leave it to your descretion which option is better.

- @Zwerg Nase: I'm OK with that, on the basis of "say where you saw it". Eagleash (talk) 16:30, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
