Why is the Mercedes AMG navbox being reverted to mercedes benz in formula one when it should be the works team name. Me12356 (talk) 10:29, 01 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

We've discussed this before, please don't feign ignorance. The title reflects Mercedes' full involvement in the sport, as does the content of the box, not just the less-than-a-year-old current name of the racing team. Pyrope 11:57, 1 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

The new design is quite a akward looking one and their was nothing wrong with the one before? Daniels Renault Sport (talk) 10:44, 30 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

I don't mind the new layout, however it is inconsistent with the templates for the other teams/constructors who have had large gaps in their participation (e.g. {{Honda F1}}, {{Renault F1}} and {{Alfa Romeo F1}}). DH85868993 (talk) 01:29, 31 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

The titlebar text for this template ("Mercedes-Benz in Formula One") doesn't quite match the contents, which also include elements from Mercedes' pre-F1 "Grand Prix racing" activities in the 1930s. So I think we either need to change the titlebar text to "Mercedes-Benz in Grand Prix racing" (which is my preference), or remove the non-F1 elements from the template. Thoughts?

I eneded up changing the titlebar text to "Mercedes-Benz in Formula One and Grand Prix racing", so it could link to both Mercedes-Benz in Formula One (which covers the F1 activities) and Mercedes-Benz in motorsport (which covers the pre-F1 Grand Prix racing activities). I also modified the two sub-headings. DH85868993 (talk) 12:58, 6 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
