Wikipedia:WikiProject Formula One/Disputed results
Reliable sources sometimes disagree about race results, particularly in the case of restarted races. This page documents the current consensus for such cases (with links to discussions where applicable), noting that an individual race result appears in multiple articles (the race report article, the season summary article, the driver's article, the team's article and the car's article) and it should appear the same in all places.
If you think one of the consensus results (listed in the "English Wikipedia" column of the tables) should be changed, you are welcome to start a discussion – WT:FORMULA1 is probably the best place, for maximum visibility.
