Your edit does not make sense

Hi Swagger9000, I fixed the English in 2017 Bahrain Grand Prix with this edit and you reverted it to the original meaningless sentence with this edit. Could you please review your change and fix the sense of it. Thanks, -- de Facto (talk). 22:02, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

 Done, Thanks for the clarification. -- Swagger9000 (talk). 16:34, 16 April 2017 (MST)

Thanks, at least the English makes sense now. But I'm not sure why you think Vettel led, even though Hamilton had the same number of points. What is the "count back system" that you referred to, and do you have a reference supporting its use in these circumstances? -- de Facto (talk). 22:54, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

I do not see anything in the rules on the FIA website(source below) that explicitly says Hamilton or Vettel will be leading the championship at this moment. The rules clarify when the season is complete, but no condition when the season is ongoing. So the original edit stands showing Hamilton and Vettel as tied at 43 points since the regulations do not necessarily show one driver to be in the lead under these circumstances. http://www.fia.com/regulation/category/110 (see pdf article published 09.03.17 article 7.2) -- Swagger9000 (talk). 21:06, 16 April 2017 (MST)

Fair enough - thanks for clarifying. -- de Facto (talk). 08:12, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Pascal Wehrlein 'races' definition

Just for clarity here, Wehrlein was entered for the Australian race and took part in the race weekend by undertaking first and second practice before withdrawing as a precaution. To us, this means he took part in the race. However, he was not entered in the Chinese GP. This means our usual practice here is that the Australian GP counts and the Chinese does not.

OK that is fine. The quantity of 'races' in the career table is entries and not starts. Then the total races entered for Wehrlein would be 7. Swagger9000 (talk) 21:19, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
