Talk:2009 German Grand Prix

Incorrect Track Map
I'm pretty sure that the diagram of the track layout on this article is incorrect: The Veedol chicane shown in the diagram is the one used for Motorcycle races. For F1 cars, they use the first part of the chicane (shown greyed out on the diagram). Will look for a definate source Oli.meggitt (talk) 15:16, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I think you're right, and the FIA map would appear to support that. We could use the old image for now. Aptery  gial  00:02, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The old image also seems incorrect as it still displays Veedol chicane, while the official circuit includes a quite different NGK chicane. Leave  Sleaves  03:58, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Numbering the German Grand Prix
Hello, where comes the "LXIX" from? Whether the FIA, the FOA nor the Hockenheim displays any numbering for the Grand Prix. Where comes it from? With greetings from the german wiki. --Quedel (talk) 18:18, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * It's WP:F1 convention to number the races sequentially using Roman numerals. But "LXIX" was wrong; the 2009 German GP was the 70th event, so I've corrected that (and the 2006 and 2008 races, which were also incorrectly numbered). DH85868993 (talk) 01:42, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Can you help me in finding the correct section? At F1 there is no numbering visible, and the tag implicied that the "official name" of the event is mentioned, but the official name is without numbers. So, can you help finding the section where the numbering is declared? With greetings --Quedel (talk) 16:03, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I've raised the matter for discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Formula_One. Regarding the link you mentioned above, F1 describes the use of the F1 race template, which is used in the general race articles (e.g. Australian Grand Prix, French Grand Prix, British Grand Prix, etc). The template used in individual race reports is Template:Infobox Grand Prix race report. Unfortunately, that template's documentation doesn't provide a fully populated example or discuss the contents of the Official Name field. DH85868993 (talk) 02:42, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
