Fastest average speed fields[edit]

I notice the recent addition of some "fastest average speed" fields for documenting the progression of the fastest average speed for the Indianapolis 500. I question whether these fields are appropriate for the "F1 race report" template, given that they would be used in a maximum of 11 of the 900-odd World Championship race report articles. If this information is considered useful, it could be added as a standalone succession box to the relevant articles. Thoughts? DH85868993 (talk) 13:44, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How significant is the data? Is it commonly refered to? --Falcadore (talk) 13:59, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Whether or not it is useful to document the information like this, it doesn't belong in this template. This one is just meant to be a succession box for the preceding/succeeding races. QueenCake (talk) 16:25, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

ePrix[edit]

Can we please have a similar template created for use in ePrix articles, such as the 2014 Beijing ePrix? Mjroots (talk) 20:19, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Formula E race report has been created. DH85868993 (talk) 10:16, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please add the number of pit stops taken by each driver as a new column in the race report Rakshith babu (talk) 19:33, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. The race report (result) table is not part of this template. Also, this discussion at the Formula One WikiProject indicates that number of pit stops by each driver is not suitable information to include in the race report articles. DH85868993 (talk) 20:11, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
