Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I will use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the ✅ tag to state when something is addressed.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:18, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Immediate Failures

 * It is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria - Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski  (talk • contribs) 16:21, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * It contains copyright infringements - is clean, images are tagged well. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski  (talk • contribs) 16:21, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * It has, or needs, cleanup banners that are unquestionably still valid. These include,, or large numbers of , , or similar tags. (See also ). - I couldn't find any in the text on first inspection  Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski  (talk • contribs) 16:21, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * It is not stable due to edit warring on the page. - No edit warring Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski  (talk • contribs) 16:21, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

Links

 * no dablinks Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski  (talk • contribs) 16:23, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * One dead link requires tagging or archiving Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:23, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

Lede

 * The 2017 FIA GT World Cup (formally the SJM Macau GT Cup – FIA GT World Cup) - When you say formerly, when was this? Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:35, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Mercedes-AMG Team Driving Academy - Is this an official name? Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:35, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * That is the official name of the team. MWright96 (talk) 18:29, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Ideal, just checking it's a proper noun. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 18:59, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * looking through the article, there's a bit about post race, and an automated warning system. This seems like it could be added to the lede in some way? Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:35, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Only mentions of any changes of championship position (teams'/constructors' and drivers') or the disqualification of the race winner through a technical infringement or a sporting infraction is deemed necessary to be inserted in the lede, not matters such as the lobbying for a system that is not likely to be implemented into motor racing. MWright96 (talk) 18:29, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Makes sense, I wasn't sure what contributed to a full summary for racing articles. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 19:01, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * overall, lede is well written. :). Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:35, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

Entry List

 * This section feels a little long for one paragraph - Can it not be split? Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:41, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Are the silver and bronze licenses really notable topics? Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:41, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure I agree with the wording surrounding the restrictions. The events were restricted to just people with platinum and gold licenses, however silvers were also sometimes allowed? Perhaps re-word to say that the event was restricted by license, and then list what licenses were allowed. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:41, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Do we need a list of what accomplishments the field had won? Prior years champions and world champions should suffice Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:41, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Have removed only one driver because his series is lesser known. MWright96 (talk) 18:29, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

Background

 * As the link for Laurens Vanthoor was in another section, it may be wise to either re-link him in this section, or state his full name. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:48, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * what are TecPro barriers? Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:48, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * "Pommer pirouetted 360 degrees at more than 250 km/h (160 mph) on the kerb at the inside of Mandarin Bend corner but he narrowly avoided striking the wall beside the track." - This comes out of nowhere. did they not stop the session for this accident? Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:48, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * "Solitude Esses" - I'm guessing this is part of the track? As there isn't a list of corners in the article, it may be an idea to put this in brackets next to this. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:48, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * As a whole, this section is very well put together, and well cited. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:48, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

Qualifying & main race

 * Not really an issue with the article, but it's quite confusing that there is both qualifying, and a qualifying race. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:18, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * "tightly-packed field could avoid due to a lack of reaction time" - The references make it seem like this was more of an opinion, rather than fact. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:18, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Overall, well written. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:18, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Not a big fan of the quote being on the left, but I suppose that's personal preference. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:18, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Notes & References

 * references are well layed out Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski  (talk • contribs) 16:36, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Notes are cited well Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski  (talk • contribs) 16:36, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

I'll most likely do a little bit today, and follow up with the rest of this review tomorrow. I used to be a bit of a formula 1 fan, but haven't seen a race for over 10 years, so if anything I raise is usual, please bare with me. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:19, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * So, I'm going to go ahead and pass this GA. The above is some really nit-picky stuff that I saw, but nothing that stops the article from meeting the GA criteria above, so feel free to completely ignore the above; however, if any of it is useful, feel free to use it to improve the article.
