Reference for national flags

edit

Can anyone provide a reliable reference for the use of the English/Scottish flags in this article? As far as I'm aware all UK drivers have their licence issued via MSA UK. Mixing national and international flags on an article is wrong. This article and ALL BTCC article should be changed. While you are at it maybe you could explain why at the British Touring Car Championship article the flags are different and correct. Bjmullan (talk) 22:13, 3 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

So can I take it that no one has objection to the article using the correct national flag? Bjmullan (talk) 21:29, 12 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
No specific objection but it should be noted that the Nascar articles always use State flags for the Americans and National flags for the internationals so it's not without precedent. Duds 2k (talk) 17:04, 13 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Points behind the leader

edit

I was wondering if it would be a good idea to include a column in the drivers results table to show how many points each driver is behind the leader of the championship. This, in my opinion, would make seeing how close the championship challengers are to each other, as well as allowing people who are not as familiar with the championship the chance to see who is still in with a chance of taking the championship.

Here is an example of what I meen:

With two rounds remaining and 134 points still available the drivers championship is as follows. (key)
