Talk:2005 Formula One World Championship

The position box
The box that says which place each driver was in each race needs numbering down the side, as I have to count to see how far down someone is. Thelb4! | Talk to me 18:49, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Constructors' championship
Shouldn't we mention the Constructors' Championship and make a nice table with the current standings? -Fred Bradstadt 10:53, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, I will start with the team points before the Chinese Grand Prix. Andreasu 21:54, 10 October 2005
 * Done. The Constructors' Championship data are up to date. -Fred Bradstadt 15:02, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

I think it would make sense to merge that section into the previous and call it simply "Constructor standings". The parent section, "Grands Prix", can be renamed "Final results and standings" at the end of the season. Incidentally, this is a very nice article, and can probably be used as a template of sorts for future seasons. &mdash; Dan | Talk 15:39, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Also good to add are the Fastest Lap on the Constructors' Tabe. Andreasu 08:34, 11 October 2005

Kimi Räikkönen : wrong entry
According to the drivers table, Kimi Räikkönen retired in Germany at the Hockenheimring. He actually retired in Europe at the Nürburgring. The entry should be corrected. ICE77 88.107.91.106 17:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * No, it's right as it stands - he was classified 11th at the Nürburgring after the suspension broke on the last lap. He retired on lap 36 at Hockenheim with hydraulic failure. -- Ian Dalziel 21:24, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Driver's Results Table is Incorrect
The driver's results table states that Kimi Raikonnen and Juan Pablo Montoya both won 5 races. This is incorrect, Kimi won 7 and Montoya 3. The Wikipedia pages for each driver contains the correct results, —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.8.120.59 (talk) 13:51, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Points Awarded
Shouldn't the points awarded for each position be shown somewhere? That seems to change at times and it's really difficult to remember which scheme was used which year. The point counts are fairly meaningless if a reader can not construct any counterfactuals. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.192.19.110 (talk) 12:52, 14 October 2014 (UTC)


 * You are quite correct, they've now been added. QueenCake (talk) 15:40, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
