Since Formula One is a constantly-changing subject, its pages need constant updating. The following guidelines should help when updating F1-related articles.

After first practice

After qualifying

  • Update {{F1stat}}, {{F1cstat}} and {{F1R2025}} (pole position)
  • Update Pole position#Top ten most Formula One pole positions if required, specifically if Leclerc or Alonso make their way into the top 10 or Verstappen scores a further 9 pole positions in 2025 (in most cases, no manual update will be required as the table uses {{F1stat}} and Hamilton’s position in the table can’t change in 2025)

After the sprint (if there is one)

After the race

At the end of a season

Y = done at the end of the 2025 season; N = not (yet) done at the end of the 2025 season; * = partially done at the end of the 2025 season;   = not (or only partially) done at the end of the 2025 season but now doesn’t need to be done

  • Just before the final race of the season:
    • Y Update the team article infoboxes to include new season details (drivers, chassis, engine, etc.), leaving the old season details in place.
    • * Update the driver article infoboxes to include new season details (team, car number), leaving the old season details in place. all done apart from Lindblad, who needs an F1 driver infobox template added
    • Y Update the “Formula One drivers from <country>” articles’ infoboxes to include new season details (including countries with no drivers for the new season)
(It’s recommended to do these updates before the new season fields are unhidden in the templates, so that the correct/correctly formatted information is already in place when the fields are unhidden, thereby avoiding well-intentioned but malformed infobox updates immediately after the completion of the final race of the season)
  • During the final race of the season, or immediately afterwards:
(It’s recommended to do these updates while the final race of the season is in progress, to avoid well-intentioned editors hacking the driver/team infoboxes or the teams template because they don’t show their favourite driver’s new team the second the race finishes)
  • Once the driver lineup for the new season has been finalised:
  • Just before the first race of the new season:

“As of” statements

Numerous F1-related articles contain statements of the form “As of <date> …” or “To date …” The end of the season seems like a good time to review these statements and update them if necessary.
