Coherency of Edits[edit]

The article states that it was the longest winning margin since the '08 British GP but yet someone deleted a statement on the 2008 British Grand Prixarticle saying it was "untrue". For coherency, should we delete that statement on this race as well? Thanks. BMB YT 500000 (talk) 17:50, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As it is WP:UNSOURCED and has been challenged, yes, it should. SSSB (talk) 07:54, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Post-race section is dispropotionally large[edit]

I feel that the post-race section is dispropotionally large and needs to be trimmed, or the other sections substantionally expanded. As shown by the section sizes template above, the post-race section currently sits at 8,186 bytes, more than two times longer than the next largest section (excluding classification tables) which is the lead. Whilst I understand that post-race analysis by pundits is encylopedic, this section needs to be brought into proportion with the rest of the article. SSSB (talk) 09:54, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Lets see what we can do. BMB YT 500000 (talk) 13:52, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've deleted some of the unnecessary pieces. Its still large, but its a start. BMB YT 500000 (talk) 14:13, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
