Background

 * Link FIA to Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile


 * Mention Pirelli are Formula One's sole tyre supplier.


 * There should be information on the championship standings heading into the race.
 * Added standings before the race section. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a clear archived standings link for the constructors' any date before the GP, so I added a link to the ESPN standings site, where the points are devided up clearly so that the points can be calculated together and prove the point. Added a similar section for after the race as well.

Free practice

 * "Per the regulations for the 2015 season, three practice sessions were held; there were two 1.5-hour sessions on Friday and another one-hour session before qualifying on Saturday." Change 1.5-hour to 90 minute


 * "The two Mercedes car" - You are missing the s in cars


 * There are two mentions of the words "Manor Marussias" which should be changed to either Manor Marussia drivers or cars.


 * Remove the worlds "Manor's newcomer" and "rookie" before the mentions of Rossi.


 * You're missing "the" before "pit lane" and this should be done before the next four mentions of the word "pit lane".

Qualifying

 * "both Force Indias and both McLarens" I feel it should be written as "both Force India and McLaren cars"


 * Instead of writing Q2, it would be easier to write out the second part of qualifying so the non-racing expert will understand, but you may use the abbreviation as well.
 * I've made this clearer by introducing the abbreviation at the beginning of the paragraph.

Race

 * "However, his mechanics were able to mend the problem" - replace mend with rectify


 * Delink Toro Rosso as it is already linked in an earlier sub-section.
 * It was a link to the specific car, I took out the alternative title.


 * Wikilink Virtual Safety Car.


 * "Around the same time, Vettel was holding a five-second advantage over Ricciardo." While I understand what this means it would be better to re-worded this to "Around the same time, Vettel held a five-second advantage over Ricciardo"


 * Remove the word "rookie" before Alexander Rossi's first mention here.


 * "At the restart, Sainz, Jr. was caught out by his car being stuck in neutral, losing many places and dropping back to 18th position, but able to carry on." - Please specify how many positions Sainz lost and reword the last section of the sentence to but managed to continue.
 * I changed the last part of the sentence, but since I do not know which position he was in before the restart (the source does not specify), I cannot give the number.


 * You have Carlos Sainz called as "Sainz" or "Sainz, Jr." here and in the qualifying-sub section. Only one of these should be used throughout the article.
 * ✅ Changed all to Sainz.

Post-race

 * "Following the controversial refusal by Max Verstappen to follow team orders and let his teammate pass in the closing lap of the race," - replace "closing" with "final".
