  • The article is newly expanded and long enough, and the expansion was well over 5x. The page is well-formatted and well-cited overall, the hook fact meets formatting guidelines and is interesting (to me), and the QPQ is complete. The hook fact in the lead has a source for Rosberg's retirement, but it doesn't say that he won this award two months later (and can't given that it's from when he retired). Reference 45 (BBC), which I looked at as part of my spot-checks, appears to cover this fact adequately, so consider adding it at the end of the lead. I also checked refs 5, 17, and 23 and found no further issues. Also, while I'm here, does the award have its own ceremony or is it part of a larger Laureus ceremony? The intro says "The [award] is an annual award ceremony", but I get the impression that the seven awards are all presented at a single ceremony, so the intro may need a tweak to reflect this.

  • I’ll see what I can do later on, I’m away from computer and have just iPad and phone so no decent keyboard. All your points are valid so I’ll get to them when I can. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:57, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
  • Fixed the lead but feel it best to add a footnote explaining about retirement vs award and can’t easily craft wiki markup on iPad, will try to get to it tomorrow evening, thanks for your comments and patience. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:45, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
  • Giants2008 I've done what you suggested, hope it's up to scratch for you. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:22, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
  • The fixes look good, and the article is up to scratch now. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:22, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
