Welcome toWikiProject Formula One. We aim to create, expand, update and standardise Wikipedia articles related toFormula One.
Anyone who would like to take part inWikiProject Formula One is welcome to do so. The project aims primarily to create and standardize complete articles on all people, teams, races, and other aspects ofFormula One.
If you are interested, please feel free to help, and add your name to thelist. If you have any questions, please inquire on the project'stalk page.
Feel free to add yourself tothe list. Once you've done this, you may want to put the Wikiproject:Formula One user box on your user page by adding{{User WP:F1}}.
Some of the content supported by WikiProject Formula One has reached featured article, featured list or featured picture status (FA, FL and FP, respectively), meaning they are amongst the very best content in Wikipedia. They are listed below; a bold title indicates the article was "today's featured article" for the date listed. Also included here are articles that are either featured article candidates (FAC), FAC's that failed, those that have undergone peer review (PR) as part of an effort to get them to FA status, and those that have achieved good article (GA) status, the next-highest level of quality.

The sport's primary article is the "top" article of a series which includes four other related topics. The Wikipedians who created these articles intended to divide the topic of Formula One into specific subtopics, and chose the four topics they thought would best accomplish this goal. The appropriateness of the subtopics is open to discussion.
All five articles should include the template{{Formula One}} at the top.
There are twenty-one Formula One-related lists. These should be historically complete, and include the template{{Formula One}}. Each, when updated, should also be marked "Accurate as of [date]" in order to assist future editors.
A long-term goal of this project is to create articles containing a summary of every World Championship race since the sport's inception in 1950, as well as every non-championship Formula One race since the category's original definition in 1946.
Thanks to a bot written byBill Cook, articles containing full classifications of every past race now exist, but most need summaries and many need standardization.
The standard structure may be found atWikipedia:WikiProject Formula One/Example race report. The wikitext is annotated with comments and may be copied to assist with the creation of a new report.
The infobox templates to use for race report articles is{{Infobox Grand Prix race report}}, which caters for both championship and non-championship races. A cut-and-paste pro forma is available at the template doc page.
Each race report article is named "[Year] [Race title]": e.g.1980 Austrian Grand Prix,1950 Indianapolis 500.
All season summary articles contain, as a minimum:
Articles for more recent seasons contain additional information. As a general rule, the current season article is in the "ideal" format; future season summary articles should use the same format.
There should be a complete article onevery race title which has been a part of the Formula One / World Championship calendar since the series started in 1950 (seeList of Formula One Grands Prix). Keep in mind that the terms "Formula One Grand Prix", "Formula One race", and "World Championship race" have not always been synonymous – seeFormula One#Distinction between Formula One and World Championship races for a detailed explanation.
If a race with a given title was only run once, the titular race article should redirect to the individual race's article, and the article should be structured like a race report.
Each article should contain:

For Formula One articles, most details should be available. Otherwise simplyleave blank any unknown fields and entern/a for irrelevant or highly variable fields. Many customer cars will have had highly variable set up, I would suggest using either the most common configuration (if such a thing exists) or simply stating a brief range of options in lieu of precise specifications.
