Kimi Raikkonen at the 2001 Belgian Grand Prix
Hi,

Thank you for your vigillance however I have reverted your good faith edits at Kimi Raikkonen and List of Formula One drivers in relation to the 2001 Belgian Grand Prix. This is because of a discussion at Talk:2001 Belgian Grand Prix that concluded in February of this year. This discussion ended with the consensus that Raikkonen is considered to be a DNS, the main reason for this being as that is how the official FIA results recoreded them, you are of course welcome to restart the discussion if you believe that the discussion failed to consider something however I feel obliged to warn you that some of my collegues at WP:F1 do tend to WP:BITE, if they do please ignore them. Thank you. SSSB (talk) 19:07, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Ok thanks I see now, although other languages still mention 308 and bel as dnf/ret.. as does source f1stats.com does. PS. And their lap 2 -times are confusingly included in fastest laps on official website, but the drivers are indeed not included in results, not as a dnf either. Thus I will let is as it was... (Just thought it had been a typo dns instead of dnf, which apparently wasn’t typo after all). Skiffgek (talk) 22:41, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi SSSB, the above seams very clean now since the number of 323 starts by Kimi was full in view on TV.. ;) So glad that that is correct.

Another question following this topic, however is the last start of Jacques Laffite in the GBR gp of 1987? He broke the record then but crashed in the pile up ending his career... Was the rule used in Belgium 2001, not (yet) applicable then or other reason why this was a re-start with DNF for him, instead of new start with a DNS (such is not mentioned on the wiki site of [Jacques Laffite] by the way. Did his record stand and if yes what is difference, and if not.... ?? Just trying to understand. Thanks. Skiffgek (talk) 10:32, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not 100% sure but it is presumably because the rule was different then, or the rule was applied differently in this case SSSB (talk) 10:39, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
