Article of the month - 2008 Belgian Grand Prix, current Good Article Candidate
 The 2008 Belgian Grand Prix (formally the LXIV ING Belgian Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on September 7, 2008, at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Spa, Belgium. It was the 13th race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 44 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team, after the initial winner, McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton, was penalised for cutting a chicane and gaining an advantage over Ferrari's Kimi Räikkönen. Hamilton started from pole position alongside title rival Massa. Hamilton's McLaren team-mate Heikki Kovalainen started from third next to the 2007 winner Kimi Räikkönen. Following a spin by Hamilton on the second lap, Räikkönen led the race, until rain fell on lap 41 and Hamilton performed the penalised pass. Räikkönen crashed in the following lap as rain started raining heavily. Massa finished second on the road after Hamilton, followed by Nick Heidfeld of BMW Sauber. Hamilton received a drive-through penalty, which demoted him to third place and advanced Massa and Heidfeld to first and second positions. McLaren appealed the decision at the FIA International Court of Appeal. Their case, however, was judged inadmissible, with the Court ruling that drive-through penalties cannot be challenged. The penalty created a large amount of criticism from the global press, mainly from the United Kingdom and Italy, with several former drivers questioning the decision. Massa's retrospective win, with Hamilton demoted to third, narrowed the gap in the Championship from six points to just two.

That's my second (and currently inactive) account, but yep. Here's my active account. MetzMaboo (talk) 21:12, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm, I wonder which one of those it is. The name Diniz seemed awfully familiar, until it hit me that I'm racing one in a real-names '99 season. :P
Hey Diniz. If you have a minute could you please take a look at the above article which I have just rewritten? My grammar has been a little clumsy lately (don't know why), particularly in the 'Background' section. Also, if I'm missing something important from the article.

I knew I recognised the 4 wins and Campos from somewhere, what with Pérez winning 4 races in British F3 in the season just finished. I'll say thanks for correcting my errors on the Fabrizio Crestani page, and sorry about the newsletter error. Wasn't aware of how many of the |}'s to add at the bottom. Regards.

- I'm trying to work up the enthusiasm to check all the links to Formula 3000 and change the appropriate ones to link to International Formula 3000 instead so that we can move Formula 3000 (disambiguation) to Formula 3000, per Talk:International_Formula_3000#Proposed_split.

Category:International F3000 drivers
I was going to comment about something related to the GP2 Asia Series, but realised that it was already there. Then I noticed the F3000 merge idea, and noticed the category had yet to be created. So yeah, that's how I started it. Done most of the first half of drivers that have an article. Cs-wolves(talk) 16:59, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
