Template talk:Infobox F1 team

Short name
Is the "short name" truly necessary? Either the logo says it, or the article should say it. &mdash; Dan | Talk 21:12, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Is "Tyres" needed any more?
since all teams use bridgestone tyres now, is there any need for the tyres section? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.33.162.197 (talk) 14:14, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

2008/2009 distinction
Showing the 2008 information is entirely unnecessary, I propose that we remove it. Eightball (talk) 16:48, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Recent changes
Personally, I would prefer to retain the shaded background for the "2009 Formula One season" and "Formula One World Championship Career" headings, for consistency with Template:Infobox former F1 team. DH85868993 (talk) 09:12, 28 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Trivial to do, if there's consensus. Just need to add a value for headerstyle, as with the other infobox. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 09:14, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree; I think it looks better with the shaded headings.-- Midgrid  (talk)  15:29, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Parent company
What would people think about the entering of a parent company field in the template? It would only show if there was actaully a parent company, which there is for most teams:

Team - Parent Company

 * Scuderia Ferrari - Ferrari S.p.A. or Fiat S.p.A
 * BMW Sauber - BMW AG
 * Renault F1 - Renault S.A.
 * Toyota Racing - Toyota Motor Corporation
 * Scuderia Toro Rosso - Red Bull GmbH
 * Red Bull Racing - Red Bull GmbH
 * WilliamsF1 - Williams Grand Prix Engineering Ltd.
 * Force India
 * Brawn GP
 * Team US F1
 * Campos Grand Prix - Campos Meta1 S.A.
 * Manor Grand Prix - Manor Grand Prix Racing
 * Lotus F1 Team - 1Malaysia F1 Team Sdn Bhd

Website field
Any thoughts about having a field for the team's official website url somewhere on this infobox - at the bottom of the top section perhaps? -- de Facto (talk). 08:52, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Boldly did it. -- de Facto (talk). 08:01, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Test drivers vs reserve drivers
With the decline of testing, and with it the reduction in test drivers (and the relevancy of the ones that remain), is there any objection to renaming the "test driver" field to "reserve driver"? 5225C (talk &bull; contributions) 11:36, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
