  • " 2003, the Champ Car World Series from 2004 to 2007 ...." you don't link the F1 season to 2003 but you do link seasons to 2004 and 2007. I personally find such easter eggs undesirable full stop, but there's nothing in the GA criteria stopping you doing it. Just be consistent I guess.
  • "1998, the International Formula 3000 Championship with Nordic Racing in 2001 and " comma after 2001.
  • "then RuSPORT,teams " fix.
  • "driver and was able t" replace and with who.
  • " financially in the long-term." delete.
  • "Wilson has a younger brother," seems odd to use this tense when Justin is dead, maybe "Wilson's younger brother,"?
  • " at the Worksop services" what are these?
  • A lot of sentences starting with Fullerton or Wilson, good use some variation.
  • "and became the first 16-year-old to win a motor race in the United Kingdom" this needs context. What kind of motor race? An affiliated one? One which is somehow officially recognised?
  • A few very short sentences makes for choppy reading, consider merging and reworking some to improve the flow rather than an almost CV-based stacatto.
  • What's a pedal box?
  • "a fully funded and sponsored" seems to be the same?
  • " BRDC Gold Medal, the ERA Club Trophy and the Graham Hill Trophy" are these notable? Should they be linked?
    • Not at the moment since those awards do not have stand-alone articles. MWright96 (talk) 09:59, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • "due to sponsorship issues" unclear what that means in this context?
  • "was rested for two races, Wilson was the team's preferred choice to replace him" rested to be replaced? Sounds unusual.
  • "The capital was raised through Palmer searching for financial partners;[41] Wilson's father mortgaged the family home" no semi colon, this is an "and" moment. Or a "while".
  • "900 individuals " don't start sentences with numbers.
  • "Before the German Grand Prix, " state explicitly this was the 2003 one.
  • Check image captions, fragments don't need full stops.
  • " the Greg Moore Legacy Award that year" again I find it odd that formal titles are part-linked. Is the award notable?
    • Not so sure, but the award is mentioned on Moore's page. MWright96 (talk) 09:59, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That takes me to the "IndyCar Series (2008–2015)" section. I'll stop here for the evening if that's okay and continue tomorrow. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 21:09, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • " In mid-race," no need for "in".
  • "27th-place finish.[84] He finished" repetitive.
  • " For his results during the season" verbose, just say where he finished.
  • " team,[14][17][26] in February,[88] " cite hell, move to end and are three really required?
  • "with 354 accrued" accrued redundant.
  • "Having been linked with..." -> "Although linked..."
  • "points standings with 183 points" repetitive.
  • "21st and advanced fourteen positions to finish seventh" mosnum, consistent words or numbers for comparable figures.
  • "In the season's first five races, he finished sixth at the Indy Grand Prix of Alabama." what?
  • "his qualifying average dropped from 12.2 in 2013 to 13.11 " is this really significant?
  • "ninth in class and 22nd " again, comparable numbers should be formatted the same.
  • "Wilson finished tenth and scored one championship point for a 25th " ditto.
  • "slowed faster than Wilson, who was following him, could do so." awkward construction.
  • "in Paulerspury, Northamptonshire," probably worth reinforcing that this was back in the UK, presumably his body had to be repatriated.
  • "could ever find",[19][144][145] " why three cites for one fact?
  • "soft-spoken and highly analytical. " not referenced while the other traits were.
  • "awareness of organ donation" did Wilson donate his organs?
    • Yes it is stated in the first sentence of the third paragraph in the Personality and legacy section MWright96 (talk) 09:59, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Tables could use row and col scopes for MOS:ACCESS. Some do, but some don't...
  • "p. 073" no need for leading zero.

That's about it for a first pass, on hold. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 08:11, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, good work, I'm promoting. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 09:39, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
