Split racing record to own article edit
I saw the Juan Pablo Montoya article and noticed that his "racing record" section is separated into its own article. So, is anyone interested in separating the "racing record" section in this article into "Career results of Fernando Alonso"? F1fans (talk) 01:30, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
- Why? I'm not sure such a split would be appropriate or in the readers best interest. Yes, this article is very large, and yes, it could do with a split, but moving all his results to a separate page doesn't seem the best way to go about it. Surely a better split would be Formula One career of Fernando Alonso - then we can also move the race-by-race results for Alonso's F1 career there and only have the broad season summary here. Because the big problem with Montoya's articles at the moment is that tables of results are best viewed with the context of prose about those results, and the prose is best viewed the context of the results (in my opinion). So I don't think the way Montoya's articles is split is a good way to go about it. SSSB (talk) 10:32, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

In his 'Personal life' section, change: He is 174 cm (5'9") tall
to: He is 171 cm (5'6") tall
The current information shows an incorrect conversion of cm to feet/inches, and the height in cm shown is *only* shown in the cited source and nowhere else. Therefore, also change the source to any of the links below:
