This article has been rated as Mid-importance on the project's importance scale.

Did I miss this on the disambiguation page, or what...? Also, I somehow doubt it was a Lotus-powered Lotus in the '90s. Lotus-Cosworth? (BTW, it's technically N a -Ford, despite what's indicated, unless you change TAG to Porche...) Trekphiler 07:24, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Too small?[edit]

How can San Marino be too small to host a Grand Prix? Monaco is much smaller and manages it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lenzar (talk • contribs) 23:21, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, it is not too small. :) Ecclestone wanted to keep the race in the calendar when Monza returned and simply needed to call it something else than "Italian GP". See Luxembourg Grand Prix for how the FIA rulings require this. So San Marino's inability to host a race within it's borders is not relevant. I tried twice to correct the article but it was reverted.--88.112.76.119 (talk) 00:28, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Never said it was too small. I said there is no infrastructure. Accurate, and not even remotely the same thing. --Falcadore (talk) 00:35, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It does not matter what infra they have. It is not a reason for the existence, name or location of the GP.--88.112.76.119 (talk) 01:12, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

F1-related deaths since 1983 include María de Villota[edit]

María de Villota's death in October 2013 came as a direct consequence of serious head and facial injuries she incurred while conducting straight-line testing of a Marussia Formula 1 car at Duxford in July 2012. Therefore I believe that it is incorrect to state that the only F1-related driver deaths since 1983 (apart from Senna and Ratzenberger) are de Angelis and Bianchi. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.147.160.144 (talk) 11:14, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus is that de Villota doesn't qualify as an F1 related death. See Talk:List of Formula One fatalities#María de Villota inclusion. The consensus is based on the fact that she largly recovered from her accident before her death and large amounts of sourced say she died of natrual causes.
