Improved to Good Article status by MWright96 (talk). Self-nominated at 17:39, 3 May 2020 (UTC).

• Y Article is a GA, nominated in time (became GA on 3 May, nominated on same day), long enough (c.35k characters), and article is within policy
• Y ALT0 is short enough, interesting to a broad audience (it was a shock, and first champion to retire for 23 years), and well-cited. ALT3 is also short enough, interesting and well cited. ALT1 isn't interesting because many drivers change their racing licences, ALT2 won't appeal to a broad audience in my opinion, and ALT4 is dull too- the point of sales people is to sell things. But happy to approve ALT0 and ALT3
• Y QPQ done
• Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:16, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
