    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 In the 1970s and 1980s, Brabham introduced innovations such as the "fan car"—which won its only race before being withdrawn—in-race refuelling, "carbon brakes," and hydropneumatic suspension.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.

    Grand Tour winner list

    I was about to do a check of the Grand Tour winner list. But I saw it has already been promoted, well done. I corrected two things myself. I didn't have time to check all the names and years in the table, but I trust that you made no mistakes. (A featured lists should be verified for unintentional errors and typos, I think.) Following the Vuelta winner list review, you no longer link to the countries. But to the organisations. I started a [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Cycling#Template_to_replace_flagathlete_for_cyclists|discussion at the Cycling WikiProject about this, and consensus there was that this was not to do this. I'm not saying you should change anything, but only want to make you aware that the Project has thought about this. --EdgeNavidad (Talk · Contribs) 19:16, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

    Thanks for the fixes on the list, just read that discussion, from now on I'll link the nationality instead of the organisation per the convincing arguments about riders having affiliations with certain organisations despite being a different nationality. I would change the links back in the other two lists but that is a lot of work which I can't be bothered to do right now! NapHit (talk) 19:54, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

    Jenson Button celebrates, after winning the Canadian Grand Prix, his first victory of the 2011 season. The race set numerous records, including the records of both the longest Grand Prix, in relation to time elapsed, and slowest, in relation to average speed, since the World Championship began in 1950.
    Article of the month – 1995 Brazilian Grand Prix; promoted to WP:GA quality

    The 1995 Brazilian Grand Prix (formally the XXIV Grande Prêmio do Brasil) was a Formula One motor race held on March 26, 1995 at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace, São Paulo, Brazil. It was the first round of the 1995 Formula One season. The race, contested over 71 laps, was won by Michael Schumacher for the Benetton team after starting from second position. David Coulthard finished second in a Williams, with Gerhard Berger third in a Ferrari. Damon Hill, who started the race from pole position, spun out while leading on lap 30 with an apparent gearbox problem, which was later found to be a suspension failure. Schumacher's win came despite Benetton encountering steering problems with his car during Friday practice, leading to him crashing heavily and necessitating steering component changes for the rest of the event. Despite Schumacher's victory, Hill proved to be faster during the race, and seemed to be on course for a comfortable victory before his sudden retirement.

    Other notable performances came from Berger, who took the final podium position despite being delayed during one of his routine pit stops due to a problem with a loose wheel nut; Mika Häkkinen, who finished fourth for the McLaren team despite its new car proving to be uncompetitive in pre-season testing; and Mika Salo, who drove strongly in the first half of the race to run third in his first Grand Prix for the Tyrrell team, only to suffer from cramp and drop back to seventh place at the finish. Behind Häkkinen, the other points-scoring finishers were Jean Alesi in the second Ferrari and Mark Blundell, who drove the second McLaren. Blundell was standing in for regular driver Nigel Mansell in the second McLaren until the team could produce a wider chassis in which to accommodate him, as the car's initial cockpit design had proved to be too narrow for him to drive comfortably.

    Several hours after the conclusion of the race, Schumacher and Coulthard were excluded from the race result as the chemical "fingerprint" of fuel samples from their cars taken after qualifying and the race did not match the specified sample lodged with the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) prior to the event. Berger was thus declared the winner, but the race stewards' decision to exclude them was overturned at an appeal hearing on April 13. Schumacher and Coulthard were reinstated in first and second places respectively, but the two teams did not receive their respective constructors' points. The Ferrari team was unhappy with the decision made at the appeal hearing; Berger called the sport "a joke". The rule concerning the legality of fuels had been changed for the 1995 season, as had the new standardised equipment used for refuelling during the race, the drivers' weighing-in procedure and the conditions of the drivers' racing licences; all of these changes produced controversies which at times threatened to overshadow the race, as did the excessively bumpy condition of the track. The race also marked the first Brazilian Grand Prix to take place since the death of Brazilian triple World Champion Ayrton Senna the previous year; his passing was commemorated in various ways throughout the event.

    LFC Colours and crest

    If you want to incorporate various colours then fine, but in a section about Liverpool FC, to not have the colours which the club is world famous for and is predominant throughout its history, in a section that largely deals with the manager and the change in question, any image other than all red is not reflective of the text and is terribly confusing. If there is only one image in a section about Liverpool colours then all red is it.Chryed (talk) 17:56, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

    I understand your point but to me it seems a bit pointless to have an image of an all red kit two paragraphs below the infobox where there is an all red kit. Not many people will know that Liverpool have not played in red throughout the club's history, that is why I think it should be the old kit. NapHit (talk) 16:41, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

    Stanley Park/Damages claim

    The reworded part i restored was yours; "Unlike other rivalries, there is no political, geographical or religious split between Liverpool and Everton". The others were mainly unclarified parts i had trimmed for the sake of tidiness (leaving it free to be expanded). As we know the Stanley Park project is still up in the air and nothing is definite on that one. We also don't yet know the conclusion of the damages claim (whether Hicks "sought", or is "seeking" to claim).

    Article of the month – 2011 British Grand Prix


    The 2011 British Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race, held on 10 July 2011, at the Silverstone Circuit in Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire, England, and won by Fernando Alonso. Changes to the circuit mean that the race was previously classified as being in Northamptonshire, but the movement of the start-finish line means that the race is now officially classed as being in Buckinghamshire. It was the ninth race of the 2011 season, and saw the introduction of a ban on off-throttle blown diffusers, the practice of forcing the engine to continue to produce exhaust gasses to generate downforce when drivers are not using the throttle.

    Hello, I see that you have changed the template and made it better (for Slovenian clubs). I am guessing that you are the author (you made it)? Well done. I would, however, ask you for a small favour regarding the template when SVN (Slovenia) is used. Could you change two small things in the head of the template (like you did with "League cup" -> "Slovenian Supercup")? I would like if its possible, that you change "Pokal Hervis" into simply "Cup" for the Slovenian Cup. The reason why is that Pokal Hervis is a sponsorship name of the cup, however, the name is used only for the last couple of seasons and was not used during the 1990s. So I think it would be better that the section would just be named the "Cup" (or "Slovenian Cup" in the worst case), since the name could change in the future due to sponsorship rights. Also, I think instead of "Slovenian Supercup" it would be better if the name in the head section would just be the "Supercup". Personally, I believe that there is no need for "Slovenian" before Cup and Supercup. Anyway, the latter isnt that important, but I believe that the Cup name in the head should change. Anyway, thanks for your help and I will probably use the template for all Slovenian teams currently playing in the top division.Ratipok (talk) 17:11, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

    Hey, thanks for your help. I have figured it out on how to edit the template and have added former SFR Yugoslavia (YUG) there. I do have a question though. Is it possible to simply remove the second cup (in this case "League Cup")? The reason why is because former Yugoslavia football system had only League and Cup competitions and didnt had League cup or Supercup as the third one.Ratipok (talk) 00:46, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
    Not sure what you could do is just have one table and then some footnotes explaining the switch from Yugoslavia to Slovenia I think that would be the easiest solution. NapHit (talk) 12:33, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
    I was thinking the same. However, I still have a slight problem. If I use template for Slovenia (SVN) i have Slovenian Cup and Slovenian Supercup in the head of the table, yet the club played in Yugoslav football system for the first thirty years. If I use a neutral table, then I have a problem because I would again have "League Cup" at the head, yet neither country had one. The solution for my problem would be if a neutral table with "Supercup" implemented would exists, but I tried and dont believe it can be made. Or at least I dont know how to make one.Ratipok (talk) 00:01, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
