Lead

 * Just a general note; this is the United States Grand Prix. Should we use American date formats and English? It seems 2017 New York City ePrix does this.
 * As far as I'm aware, it is the standard to write Formula One articles in British English owing to its European roots. MWright96 (talk) 07:48, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
 * "leaving the sport with only nine entered teams, the lowest number since the 2005 Monaco Grand Prix." Didn't the 2005 USGP have only three? Or is this referring to the number of teams who ran throughout the weekend?
 * Actually, ten were entered for that race and three started. MWright96 (talk) 07:48, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Background

 * "Drivers have agreed it is a worthwhile system that, however, requires refinement for further testing at subsequent Grands Prix before introduction in 2015." Should the tense be updated here? 2015 has already happened.
 * ✅ MWright96 (talk) 07:48, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
 * "Force India team principal Bob Fernley said discussions about a boycott but it would only be performed as a final recourse." This sentence feels like its missing a couple of words after 'boycott'.

Practice and qualifying

 * "Pérez used two set of soft tyres in the first session to ensure he made the second part of qualifying and took 11th." -> two sets
 * Fixed typo. MWright96 (talk) 07:48, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Race

 * "Every driver, except for Vettel, Kvyat and Hülkenberg, started on soft compound tyres." Which compound did they start on then?
 * The medium compound tyres. MWright96 (talk) 07:48, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
 * "Bottas gained momentum to pass Ricciarddo around the outside for fourth place." Extraneous d.
 * Removed. MWright96 (talk) 07:48, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
 * "Kvyat made an error, allowing Räikkönen to pass him." I think some additional context could be helpful here.
 * Removed. MWright96 (talk) 07:48, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

That's all from me, really just a few prose issues. Well done, as usual. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 01:28, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review. I have made the adjustments and see the replies to the first two points you raised. MWright96 (talk) 07:48, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Well done. Pass. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 19:32, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
