GA Review[edit]

I'm failing this GAN because of some problems with the content, specifically comprehensivesness
- The article is almost wholly concerned with the results of the racing team. It does not discuss things such as
- Budget
- Structure of the team and roles of the technical staff in the team, especially as the engineering is bigger component of the success than any driver can be these days
- Team politics, whether drivers are allowed to race freely etc
- Information about the team's factory, research facilities, wind-tunnel, supercomputers etc, staff
- Fan following/merchandise etc
- There is also a recentism problem. The 2000s is twice as large as the other stuff
- In the footnotes, 100-112 should be 100–112 and so forth
- I think the comment about 1997 is slightly misleading about the team's pace, as JV let Hakkinen win at Jerez and in the race that Coulthar won, Williams were two seconds a lap faster but had mechanical failure and the other driver got bumped off at the first corner. Otherwise the history is well done
