Fastest pit stop award
Can I ask why we aren't including the fastest pit stop award for this season? It is listed alongside the fastest lap award on the F1 website, implying equal importance. Also, it's on the 2016 season page; if it's not going to be here we should probably remove it there too? - Nt1192 (talk) 16:55, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
 * While F1 isn't about pitstops, pits stops are a part of most racing categories and have been an integral part of F1. If the powers that be actually created an official award for the fastest pitstop in the season, and then went out and got a sponsor for the award itself, then this award needs to be included in any compendium of info and facts abut the F1 2015 season. The fact that some purists may think this award is meaningless is irrelevant, I personally think the fastest lap of any race is meaningless, just as Alonso proved in Monza 2016, but we still give him credit for that.

 * Also, there's a wiki page for the DHL Fastest Pitstop Award, and there's an entry there for 2015. That needs to be reflected here. Real tlhingan (talk) 17:37, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Next time you complain about the absence of something, check the article first. The Fastest Pit Stop Award and its winner has been mentioned in the season report all the time. That is giving it its due weight. It's too trivial to mention it in the lead and as a consequence in the infobox. The is article became a Featured Article without that award being mentioned in the lead or the infobox. That status showing this belongs Wikipedia's top quality articles shows very clearly that award need not be mentioned in the lead.Tvx1 18:10, 5 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Some of us are saying it should be in the infobox as well. The DHL Fastest Pitstop award isn't a matter of opinion or being a fanboy of it, it's an award given annually by the sport's authority to the team that has performed the quickest pitstop in the most races that season, just like the DHL Fastest Lap award is given annually by the sport's authority to the driver that has performed the quickest lap in the most races that season. Neither award win the recipient any points in the standing, and they alone don't really affect the outcome of individual races or entire championships. If the Fastest Lap award belongs in the infobox, then so does the fastest pitstop.


 * Who added the fastest lap award anyway? That was never included in the infobox originally, it only appeared to have popped up on the season articles over the past few weeks. The fastest lap and fastest pit stop "awards" are in no way official or sanctioned by the FIA, they are simply meaningless trinkets handed out by one of Formula One's sponsors. I don't know whether they merit inclusion in the prose or not, and haven't checked previous articles to find out if they are, but they should not be listed in the infobox next to the World Championships.

 * It was added anonymously by an IP-logged user on October 23rd, 2016. Both DHL awards are equally unsanctioned by the FIA, but are both equally named in official sources. They should either both be removed from the infobox or both be stated in the info box. Real tlhingan (talk) 20:54, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

This discussion has been quiet for 2 days, does anybody have anything to add? Other that personal opinions getting thrown around, the only 3rd-party source that's been mentioned is that article from formula1.com giving both awards equal importance. Therefore "due weight" means they both get included in the infobox or they both get excluded from the infobox. Can we get a consensus on one or the other?
 * You don't get to set conditions for the outcome of a discussion. Regardless, I have no problems with removing both from the infobox. As explained both are marketing tools by one of the sports main sponsor.Tvx1 14:15, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Mistake in WCC table
The results of Nasr and Eriksson have been mixed up for the Hun/Ita/Bel GPs. I tried to fix it but couldn't get the colours right so I left it; sorry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Krommenaas (talk • contribs) 09:29, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
 * There are not “results” of Nasr and Eriksson in the WCC table. Only the results credited to the constructors in ascending order.Tvx1 20:07, 28 August 2018 (UTC)


 * This table is totally meaningless without reference to other information. I suggest deleting the race by race points and just show the totals column.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.166.60.217 (talk) 12:24, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
 * That would just make the table more "meaningless". SSSB (talk) 12:35, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Total Per team per race makes sense. the current two rows by car is irrelevant. That one car finished x and the other finished y doesn't add anything without knowing which car was which  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.159.23.109 (talk) 21:12, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
 * That one car finished x and the other finished y doesn't add anything without knowing which car was which - yes it does. In the event that two teams finish on identical points then the championship position is defined on countback, as exlpained in the article. Therefore it does add something. Its also so you can see how many times a team finished first, on the podium etc. but this is secondry. SSSB (talk) 22:09, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Images at the beginning of page
Why is there no images for 2nd place (Nico Rosberg) and 3rd place (Sebastian Vettel) at the beginning of the article, either with Lewis Hamilton, or below him in separate images. This is inconsistent with most of the other F1 championship pages.2A00:23C7:5D2E:CB00:6984:F8BA:23BC:C7BB (talk) 02:57, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
