British Grand Prix", but I wonder how the "official" names were chosen for 1972-1976? Nye is very clear that from 1972-1974 at least, the race was known as the "John Player Grand Prix", with "British" removed entirely, and doesn't mention it again for '75 or '76, but surely at the very least the official name for '75 would have included "John Player"? I can't find much out, but this poster

at this point as those John Player Grands Prix have pretty much unanimously been refered to as
British Grands Prix by everyone pretty much from the moment John Player & Sons ceased their financial backing of the race. That's over 40 years of being refered to as the British Grand Prix and without

I notice recently
Ferrari has been demoted from 15 BGP wins to 14, presumably because of the Lancia D50 chassis the team used to win the 1956 Grand Prix. One of the problems with the 'Constructor' nomenclature is that it creates this little inconsistencies. The Ferrari team has won 15 British Grands

Grand Prix's history can be considered to have ended in 1971, since from 1972 the race was know as the "John Player Grand Prix". Now of course this is no-longer the case, but I'm quite suspicious of some of the "official name"s given in a few articles. Of course the headings should still be "197x

The track map used in this article for
Brooklands is not the same as the layout actually used for the British Grand Prix, so I feel it needs to be replaced, or at least removed if no other images are available. It is inappropriate for the same reasons as why the current Brands Hatch layout is not

I noticed that too. I support the listing of constructors rather than teams in the infobox (I think listing teams would cause us more grief); I think the issue here is whether the car Fangio was driving was a "Ferrari" or a "Lancia-Ferrari". We currently have some inconsistency on this issue:
535:
I certainly don't think the article names should be changed, as Doug Nye mentions in his book (and as you can see if you look at old news articles) pretty much everyone called them "British Grand Prix", but I still think the "official name" section of the articles should reflect reality.
550:(edit) I've changed the names for 1972-1976, and also 1971 (The Woolmark British Grand Prix) and 1977 (John Player British Grand Prix). It looks like most of the ones after that already have the correct names (well up to about 1983 anyway).

British Grand Prix". Given the approach we have taken with regards to the names of the Grands Prix held in the US, I feel we have no option but to rename the articles on the 1972-1978 races held in the

Could I just ask why
Scottish drivers get to display the Scottish flag in the rankings but English born drivers are labelled with the Union Jack. I think this is grossly unfair, where is the St. George's Cross for England please?

I added
Donington Park into the infobox due to recent confirmation that it will host the GP from 2010 onwards. If there is any issue with it being included in the infobox please discuss.

The track map for 1949 was also incorrect, as it doesn't show the chicane at club. This isn't as bad as the
