5x expanded by MWright96 (talk). Self-nominated at 19:42, 25 April 2019 (UTC).


 * Symbol question.svg The expansion is recent enough and long enough. The article is well over the minimum length requirements, and is well-formatted and well-cited overall. The content of the main blurb is adequately supported by multiple references in the article, and I'll AGF on ALT1 since I can't read Portuguese. My preference as far as content goes is ALT2, and that blurb is verified by the source. However, the article doesn't say that Prost was a four-time world champion; that will need to be added. This blurb is 209 characters, above the maximum of 200. It looks like a blurb of .... that by taking his 52nd career victory at the 2001 Belgian Grand Prix, racing driver Michael Schumacher broke four-time world champion Alain Prost's record of 51 Formula One race victories?" would fit within the limit. In ALT3, the source doesn't confirm the statement that Senna was a three-time world champion, which is in both the blurb and article. That will need an extra cite, which should be relatively easy to find. Also note that ALT1 and ALT3 are right at 200 characters, by my unofficial count, which would technically be over the limit. Any number of possible fixes should give you a few characters of breathing room in each case. Spot-checks of refs 27, 31, 51, and 57 revealed no further verification issues, and the QPQ has been completed already. Overall, there are a couple of referencing and formatting issues that need attention before the blurbs will be ready. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 00:33, 7 May 2019 (UTC)


 * That should be all of the issues rectified. MWright96 (talk) 07:33, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg The referencing issues have been taken care of and the hooks have been trimmed to meet guidelines; the unstruck blurbs are all under 200 characters, at least according to my counts. ALT4 strikes me as the most interesting blurb of the group, as it relates to a significant record in the sport. That blurb is good to go. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 01:41, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
