Recent edits to Sam Bird

Hi, you recently made some good faith edits to Sam Bird which I reverted. However due to my butter fingers I didnt provide very good edit summaries, so let me explain.

Firstly the "best finish" parameter in the infobox refers to the best finish in the Championship and not in the race.

Secondly when a source says "is set to" it means that it hasn't actually happened yet and therefore it is too early to mention on the encyclopedia. We tend to wait for official confirmation as "is set to" doesnt always transpire to a signed contract in the future.

Hope this clears things up and thank you for contributing to Wikipedia.

Sorry about all the back and forth! I will wait until either the Jaguar team or Sam himself put out messaging about the move, would that be ok? I suppose I still have a hard time understanding exactly why my edit was problematic, but I defer to you :)A-Whitethorn-Tree (talk) 18:26, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Teams usually announce these things as soon as they go through so it's best to wait until they announce it, then you can use any source that takes your fancy. The source you cited looked like it cam from a Jaguar leak (it's the same reason that Alonso isnt listed on 2021 F1 season despite the report on BBC Sport.
