Erm...not really thought about it. I suppose it would be, "much easier on us," as it would save us time...so I say why not. First Monday of the month except for the last issue which would be the last day of the year; just like how we have at present...if the "bot can do that of course!" Cs-wolves(talk) 20:07, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

What about those that haven't edited in a while (over a year at least)...should we also remove them from the recipients list...that may be what is slowing us down manually. Cs-wolves(talk) 20:29, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

An issue's warning seems perfectly appropriate. Super! Cs-wolves(talk) 20:38, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

I suppose we could deliver it manually. But if it comes double, we can always trawl through and "delete one of them." But yeah, NASCAR one went unbothered so that is quite strange! Cs-wolves(talk) 13:57, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi there - Happy New Year!

I've got a discussion going with Luph25 about the fuel used by, Sauber in the Sauber C14. As far as I can see it was Elf, but Luph believes it to have been Petronas. If you still have the 1995 Autocourse, could you check it for me? 1996 says Elf, but I don't have the 1995 one. Many thanks. 4u1e (talk) 13:20, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Great, thank you. I believe fuel was supplied for the Petronas (nee Ferrari) engines by Shell in 97 and 98 before Petronas took over fuel for 99 (going by a couple of Autocourses and a yearbook) Could you give me a page number for the 1995 ref? I've used chicanef1 as a ref for now, but would rather something more reliable. Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 15:14, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

I see you're ahead of me - thanks again! 4u1e (talk) 15:18, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

ok sure...I was excited to see Narain back on grid :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.56.32.105 (talk) 17:20, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Hey man, quick question...which licensing is available to put onto Commons? I have been meaning to start helping out if Formula One photos are available, for the newsletter. That said, I may delve into other formulae. Cs-wolves(talk) 00:10, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Ah, I only ever thought it was the first tick. I have a Flickr account anyway, having stuck many of my gig photos and the BTCC Edinburgh photos on there. All three ticks, wow! So, for instance...if this picture wasn't on Commons, it could be uploaded right? Cs-wolves(talk) 00:52, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

No equals/dollar signs, better take a note of that! Ha! Cs-wolves(talk) 01:12, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

I have to admire your commitment. You've been unlucky with the FACs. And I'd say the article is as tight as anything which passes through there. The one thing which could improve the chances next time (although luck is undeniably a part) is to review (in depth) several other nominations while yours is there. That gets your name out and would probably make people more likely to reciprocate. Bon chance! Apterygial 06:12, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

The usual lack of January photos has arisen once again...was hoping for some of the testing ones. But that'll come at Jerez I do believe. Sigh... Cs-wolves(talk) 22:34, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Oh yeah, I had forgotten about that...suppose that would be the most suitable if no Valencia pics turn up. Cs-wolves(talk) 23:23, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Suppose a speedy recovery for Kubica may be the suitable option for the picture, similar to the Massa one. Cs-wolves(talk) 16:29, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Just goes to show how badly a rallying jaunt pre-season can go. Cruel luck for him. You can choose the article then for the newsletter. ;) Cs-wolves(talk) 23:03, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Having a look at the NASCAR newsletter which is also delivered by the bot...their last was submitted 23 January, posted early 25 January. May be a couple of days late, but oh well! Here's hoping it comes today. Cs-wolves(talk) 17:18, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

I LIKE IT! Wasn't expecting that quick, mind you! Cs-wolves(talk) 17:26, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Although, can we not put it in with the {{XIV:WikiProject Formula One/Newsletter/201102}} (as it would be next month), rather than the bloated length from the exact details on the page? Might put unduly weight on the recipients' talkpage. Cs-wolves(talk) 17:31, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Might reduce the number of connection errors that the bot has picked up; but seems like it was all delivered fine... Cs-wolves(talk) 17:45, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Just three months. Or is there other options? Three may be a little short, but if that's the only option then it should be considered. Cs-wolves(talk) 18:09, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I don't see why not then. Might reduce the recipients a bit, but seems fair! If the users do come back, then they can re-sign up for the newsletter. Cs-wolves(talk) 18:13, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Oh yes, of course. How silly of me to forget! Cs-wolves(talk) 19:08, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Article of the month – 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix, peer-reviewed The 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix (formally the XXIII ING Magyar Nagydíj) was a Formula One motor race held on August 3, 2008, at Hungaroring in Mogyoród, near Budapest, Hungary. It was the 11th race of the 2008 Formula One season. Contested over 70 laps, the race was won by Heikki Kovalainen for the McLaren team, from a second position start. Timo Glock finished second in a Toyota car, with Kimi Räikkönen third in a Ferrari. It was Kovalainen's first Formula One victory, which made him the sport's 100th driver to win a World Championship race, and was Glock's first podium finish. The majority of the race consisted of a duel between Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa, who drove for McLaren and Ferrari respectively. Hamilton started from pole position on the starting grid but was beaten at the first corner by Massa, who passed him around the outside. The two championship rivals began a battle for the lead that was resolved when Hamilton sustained a punctured tyre just over half-way through the race, giving Massa a lead of over 20 seconds over Kovalainen. The Ferrari's engine, however, failed with three laps of the race remaining, allowing the McLaren driver to win. Räikkönen set the race's fastest lap in the other Ferrari, but was hampered by a poor qualifying performance and was stuck behind Alonso and Glock in turn for almost all of the race. As a consequence of the race result, Hamilton extended his lead in the World Drivers' Championship to five points over Räikkönen, with Massa a further three behind. Robert Kubica, who finished eighth after finding his BMW Sauber car to be uncompetitive at the Hungaroring, slipped to 13 points behind Hamilton, ahead of his team-mate Nick Heidfeld and Kovalainen. In the World Constructors' Championship, McLaren vaulted BMW Sauber for second position, 11 points behind Ferrari. (More...)

Quick thought...

Instead of putting Hungary '08 up for a third month, I'm thinking of putting up the Australian race just gone by there...it's handy enough because it's the only race of the month and we want some variety! Cs-wolves(talk) 22:42, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Article of the month - 2011 Australian Grand Prix The 2011 Australian Grand Prix (formally the 2011 Formula 1 Qantas Australian Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on 27 March 2011 at the Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne. It was the 76th race in the combined history of the Australian Grand Prix that dates back to the 100 Miles Road Race of 1928. Originally planned as the second race of the 2011 Formula One season, it became the season opener with the cancellation of the Bahrain Grand Prix due to civil unrest in the country. The race, contested over 58 laps, was won by the reigning World Champion Sebastian Vettel, driving for Red Bull Racing, after starting from pole position. Lewis Hamilton finished second in a McLaren, and Renault's Vitaly Petrov completed the podium in third place, the first podium finish of his career and the first podium finish for a Russian national.

Article of the month – 1980 Spanish Grand Prix, currently listed for Peer Review The 1980 Spanish Grand Prix (formally the XXVI Gran Premio de Espana) was a Formula One motor race held on June 1, 1980 at Circuito Permanente del Jarama. Originally scheduled to be part of the 1980 Formula One World Championship, following the running of the race it was announced that World Championship points would not be awarded to the competitors, making it a non-championship race. The winner of the race was Alan Jones, driving for the Williams team. Jochen Mass finished second for Arrows and Elio de Angelis third for Team Lotus. Owing to disputes as part of the FISA-FOCA war, the race went ahead without the teams of Ferrari, Alfa Romeo and Renault, because the Fédération Internationale du Sport Automobile (FISA), then the governing body of Formula One, had declared the race illegal. The other teams drove the race, now sanctioned by the Formula One Constructors Association (FOCA). All teams competing in the race ran Ford engines. Carlos Reutemann, Nelson Piquet and Didier Pironi all retired from the race whilst in the lead, Reutemann due to a collision and Pironi and Piquet because of mechanical problems. Only six of the twenty-two drivers who took the start of the race made it to the end, and only three were on the lead lap. (More...)

Article of the month – Brabham, featured on the main page (May 2) Motor Racing Developments Ltd., commonly known as Brabham, was a British racing car manufacturer and Formula One racing team. Founded in 1960 by two Australians, driver Jack Brabham and designer Ron Tauranac, the team won four drivers' and two constructors' world championships in its 30-year Formula One history. Jack Brabham's 1966 drivers' championship remains the only such achievement using car bearing the driver's own name. In the 1960s, Brabham was the world's largest manufacturer of open wheel racing cars for sale to customer teams, and had built more than 500 cars by 1970. During this period, teams using Brabham cars won championships in Formula Two and Formula Three and competed in the Indianapolis 500. In the 1970s and 1980s, Brabham introduced innovations such as the "fan car"—which won its only race before being withdrawn—in-race refuelling, carbon brakes, and hydropneumatic suspension. The team won two more Formula One drivers' championships in the 1980s with Brazilian Nelson Piquet, and became the first to win a drivers' championship with a turbocharged car. British businessman Bernie Ecclestone owned Brabham during most of the 1970s and 1980s, and later became responsible for administering the commercial aspects of Formula One. Ecclestone sold the team in 1988. Its last owner was the Middlebridge Group, a Japanese engineering firm. Midway through the 1992 season, the team collapsed financially as Middlebridge was unable to make repayments against loans provided by Landhurst Leasing. The case was investigated by the United Kingdom Serious Fraud Office. In 2009, an unsuccessful attempt was made by a German organisation to enter the 2010 Formula One season using the Brabham name.
