Hallo
one tard has added template of speedy deletion, and later article was deleted.
And I have question, how to revert deleted data? Bcoz as I see, history couldnt saved.
here is an article
btw
here in the first line of the result, u would see a beginning of deleted article..what a pity that hadnt cached at google.
anyway, there must be a category when article should "speedy delete" and admins or some1 else must vote for deleete or make a decision.
I don't believe that article can be delete and data of that article too. there must be a log or history somewhere, but where? —Preceding

Here's my take on things:
Ironholds is not a tard
Your article was deleted via
WP:CSD#A7, which meant your article data did not contain enough assertion of notability or importance of the band. Google search results aside, please read
WP:NOT#MYSPACE as well as the several other notices regarding garage bands trying to self-promote via Wikipedia.
You may seek an administrator (I am not an admin) to request deleted data be sent to you if you are nice when you request the information (and not calling people tards)
CSD is generally a process where a "new page patroller" (refer to
WP:NPP) nominates an article for deletion and an administrator takes a look at the reason of CSD the nominator requests to delete - and makes a decision to delete. Generally articles that are CSD deleted are the ones that are simply and blatantly violating Wikipedia's many policies and guidelines. You may find a comprehensive listing of these polices and guidelines via the light blue navibox on
my user page near the top right corner named "Key Wikipedia Policies and Guidelines".

my RfA, which passed with 80 support, 2 oppose, and 1 neutral. I appreciate all the comments I received and will endeavor to justify the trust the community has placed in me.

It seems you reverted my addition to
Crawford v. Nashville summarizing the Court's opinion. (I am also the person who started the article, not that that means anything.) I think people would like to read what they had to say, because reasoning is important in Supreme Court cases. In your haste to revert, you also took out my updates to the info box, and my removal of the tag claiming a judgment was pending. Why do you think this revert was necessary?

Formula One, abbreviated to F1, is the highest class of
open-wheeledauto racing defined by the
Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motorsport's world governing body. The "formula" in the name refers to a set of rules to which all participants and cars must conform. The F1 world championship season consists of a series of races, known as
Grands Prix, held usually on purpose-built
circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets. The most famous Grand Prix is the
Monaco Grand Prix in
Monte Carlo. The results of each race are combined to determine two annual Championships, one for
drivers and one for
constructors.
Michael Schumacher holds the record for the most Grand Prix victories, having won 91 times.
Alain Prost, is second with 51 wins, and
Ayrton Senna is third, with 41 wins. Michael Schumacher holds the distinction of having the longest time between his first win and his last. He won his first Grand Prix in
1992 at the
Belgian Grand Prix, and his last in
2006 at the
Chinese Grand Prix, a gap that spans 14 years, 1 month and 1 day. The youngest winner of a Grand Prix is
Sebastian Vettel, who was 21 years, 73 days old when he won the
2008 Italian Grand Prix.
Luigi Fagioli is the oldest winner of a Formula One Grand Prix; he was 53 years and 22 days old when he won the
1951 French Grand Prix.
Just saw your note (above), yes, since the first Stargate film I wished there was something like that on TV, Startrek:NG was ok, but never really made too much of an impression on me, apart form Data of course ! When the SG series started I was over the moon, always been a fan since then. AS for Mr Chow, well I have got 52 films with him in and apart from 2 or 3 they are something I can watch over and over and still laugh everytime. When I first saw Kung Fu Hustle I had to stop watching it at the knife scene when they are trying to kill the landlady and he stabs himself in the arm - I laughed for over 10 mins lol.
SG:Universe - same here, I can't wait and have been avidly following develpments, I know there are those that will talk about it's similarity to Startrek but I don't care, the idea of exploring and discovering is much more exciting to me than to worry about who is doing it. Recent series' like Firefly etc haven't captured my imagination so rollon SG:Uiverse !! lol
Hope all is ok with you, and I'll try and catch up with the robotics articles now the FR/FP/leave it the way it is arguments are dying down.--

Yup, I'm interested, will take a look later on though as my ex girlfriend is diabetic and ringing me every 20 mins due to complications with ther sugar levels today.
lol sorry, I forgot to put in the question about rollbacks - I got distracted by her and the problem shes having. Basically, I have been using Twinkle to do roll backs as well as just clicking the rollback on page comparisons for various bad edits/vandalism, should I have asked for rollback rights first or is it ok to carry on using twinkle (sparingly I might add)
Rollbacking rights on Wikipedia is different from accessing a similar rollbacking tool via Twinkle. You generally don't require rollbacking rights to use Twinkle, but it is suggested. Rollbacking via Wikipedia should only be used for vandalism and is questioned if you use it improperly, while if you screw up with Twinkle you can just often just undo without too many critics watching your every move.

Thanks for your assistance regarding
Air travel, climate change, and green consumerism. I must admit, I've requested the page be moved to main namespace without making either of the changes you suggest. With regard to `see also' topics, I think it's fair to say that some pages are `general' and others more `specialized'. It's important for the `general' pages to have signposts towards the more `specialized' pages. I think it's less important for the specialized pages to have signposts towards the more general pages (in fact, it can be a nuisance as it can give the reader the mistaken impression that, unless they follow the links to the more general pages, they won't have covered all the material about the more specialized subject). I think the page I've written is at the specialized end of the spectrum --- hence no `see also' topics. With regard to the bullet points, they were already a last resort (I found it very hard to achieve both brevity and exact correctness using prose) --- hopefully, because the article is quite specialized, the page won't be visited too often and hence the poor style won't cause too much offence.
Well, the best thing about creating your own article is you can set the See Also topics to whichever topic(s) you feel are closely related enough for you to list. I understand your point regarding the generalization of the topics and remember that this is an encyclopedia. Although it may not get as much traffic as a featured article - the quality, substance and depth should never be compromised because you expect low reader counts. :)

You couldn't find a way to vent on Wikipedia? If you have read the policies and guidelines on Wikipedia, you should abide by these policies and guidelines. If you want to suggest something, you can take it to
WP:VD. If you have problems with the content of a specific article, you may use the article's talk page to discuss changes, find consensus, and approach improvement with other editor(s). It seems like you're a new user who is frustrated by your inability to change something on an article, and repeatedly argue with several editors whenever he/she disagrees with you or point you to read something you don't feel like reading. I suggest you become familiar with how Wikipedia before you request help again. If you don't know where to find help, on
my userpage the top right box should contain the list of Key Wikipedia Policies and Guidelines. That should be some light bedtime reading you can take on to familiarize yourself. Once you've completed that, you should be able to find your way around Wikipedia. Remember that the {{

I happen to edit an article on my hometown Kolenchery and add extra information . But I find that the changes I have made have been reverted by you and given HG tag. As I am quite new to posting content on wikipedia, please let me know the details regarding the content which you felt inappropriate so that I can improve.
Hi Jamesontai! We're both part of the Account Creation Team, and just by random chance I happened to notice that your signature isn't coming out properly on the welcomes the bot leaves for you. See
here for an example. It used to mess up my signature, too, and the only way I managed to fix it was by making sure my signature (on the tool) included only wiki markup (meaning it doesn't look like my normal signature). There may be another way, too, but not that I know of. Anyway, thought you would like to know.

Wow, so I guess it's still happening. I thought I dealt with that problem weeks ago. We tested it and it worked, or so I thought. I'll need to see if the code is faulty or if I seriously just cannot use a custom signature. Thanks for bringing it up to my attention.

Hamilton, the eventual
Drivers' Champion, led the Championship going into the race, and started from
pole position alongside Räikkönen. Second in the Drivers' Championship, Massa began from third, next to
Fernando Alonso of
Renault. The first three drivers retained their positions into the first corner, but Alonso was passed by Hamilton's McLaren teammate
Heikki Kovalainen. However, Alonso was able to regain the place midway through the first lap. Over the course of the race, Hamilton extended a considerable lead over the two Ferraris. Massa passed Räikkönen with seven laps remaining, to improve his chances of surpassing Hamilton's
points tally at
the final race in Brazil.
The result extended Ferrari's lead over McLaren in the
Constructors' Championship from seven to 11 points. Third-placed in the Drivers' Championship,
Robert Kubica's sixth place at the Grand Prix eliminated his hopes of winning the Championship, and reduced his lead over fourth-placed Räikkönen to six points.

Hamilton maintained his startline advantage and led until he made his first pit stop on lap 18. As other cars made their pit stops, Hamilton regained the lead on lap 22. On lap 36
Timo Glock crashed, and the race was neutralized by the deployment of the
safety car. Hamilton, on a two-stop strategy, did not stop to get more fuel during this period, while all the cars around him did. Thus when he did eventually stop on lap 50, he rejoined the race in fifth. In the closing stages of the race, Hamilton overtook first his team-mate
Heikki Kovalainen, then Massa, and finally Piquet, to take the lead again on lap 60, which he maintained to win the race.
The victory was Hamilton's second consecutive win, having won the preceding
British Grand Prix at
Silverstone. The win put him ahead of his two main rivals in the
Drivers' Championship,
Kimi Räikkönen (who finished sixth) and Massa of Ferrari, who were on equal points with him before the race. After the race he was four points ahead of Räikkönen, and seven ahead of Massa. In the
Constructors' Championship, McLaren drew closer to the two teams ahead of them,
BMW Sauber and Ferrari. Ferrari still led by 15 points from McLaren, and 12 from BMW, whose drivers –
Nick Heidfeld and
Robert Kubica – finished fourth and seventh respectively.
† After the race, Trulli was originally given a 25-second penalty for passing Lewis Hamilton (4th, +2.914) under yellow flags.
[1] However, due to misleading the stewards, Hamilton was disqualified and Trulli's penalty was overturned.
[2]
* Timo Glock (1:26.975, 6th) and Trulli (1:27.127, 8th) were both disqualified from qualifying and sent to the back of the grid, as their Toyotas' rear wing elements were in breach of the rules.
The race was red flagged on lap 33 and the results were taken from lap 31.
* Sebastian Vettel (3rd, 1:35.518) got a 10 place grid penalty for his collision with Kubica at the previous Grand Prix.
[3]
^ Rubens Barrichello (4th, 1:35.651) got a 5 place grid penalty for a gearbox change.

The race began with Kubica in
pole position alongside Massa;
Lewis Hamilton, the eventual
Drivers' Champion, started from third, alongside Räikkönen. Kubica was passed by Massa into the first corner, and then by Räikkönen on the third lap. The Ferraris dominated at the front of the race, leading to their one-two finish. Hamilton had a slow start after almost
stalling on the grid, and dropped back to ninth. The McLaren driver ran into the back of
Fernando Alonso's
Renault a lap later, breaking off the McLaren's
front wing and dropping Hamilton to the back of the field.
Kubica's strong finish promoted BMW Sauber to the lead in the
Constructors' Championship, after BMW driver
Nick Heidfeld finished fourth. Ferrari and McLaren trailed, one and two
points behind, respectively. Räikkönen took the lead in the Drivers' Championship, with 19 points, three points ahead of Heidfeld and five ahead of Hamilton, Kubica and Kovalainen, with 15 races remaining in the season.

Massa claimed pole, with teammate Räikkönen fourth, the two Ferrari cars sandwiching the McLarens of
Heikki Kovalainen and Hamilton. At the first corner Räikkönen clipped Kovalainen's rear tyre and gave him a puncture. The safety car was deployed on the first lap, after a collision, but only remained out for one lap. During the course of the race, Hamilton, intending to make one more pit stop than both Ferrari drivers, was faster than Massa due to carrying a lighter fuel load and overtook him on lap 24. After Hamilton had made his third pit stop, he rejoined in second behind Massa but in front of the Championship leader, Räikkönen. Massa won the race, with Hamilton 3.779 seconds behind, and Räikkönen a further half-second behind. The two
BMW Sauber cars of
Robert Kubica and
Nick Heidfeld took fourth and fifth.
In the week running up to the grand prix, the
Super Aguri team had withdrawn from Formula One, due to financial problems, leaving the sport with only ten teams. Massa's victory was his third consecutive pole position and victory in
Turkey, having also won the race from pole in
2006 and
2007. This was also
Rubens Barrichello's 257th Grand Prix start, breaking
Riccardo Patrese's previous record of 256. Due to the race result, Räikkönen's lead in the
Drivers' Championship was lowered to seven points. Massa rose to second from fourth, whilst Hamilton dropped to third, both drivers tying on 28 points but separated by Massa's two wins thus far to Hamilton's one. In the
Constructors' Championship, Ferrari increased their lead to 22 points ahead of BMW Sauber, with McLaren a further two points behind in third.

Conditions were wet at the start of the race. Massa maintained his lead into the first corner, but his teammate
Kimi Räikkönen was passed for second by Hamilton, who had started in third position on the
grid. Hamilton suffered a punctured
tyre on lap six, forcing him to make a
pit stop from which he re-entered the race in fifth place. As the track dried and his rivals made their own pit stops Hamilton became the race leader, a position he held until the end of the race. Kubica's strategy allowed him to pass Massa during their second pit stops, after the latter's Ferrari was forced to change from wet to dry tyres. Räikkönen dropped back from fifth position to ninth after colliding with
Adrian Sutil's
Force India late in the race. Sutil had started from 18th on the grid and was in fourth position before the incident, which allowed
Red Bull driver
Mark Webber to finish fourth, ahead of
Toro Rosso driver
Sebastian Vettel in fifth.
The race was Hamilton's second win of the season, his first in Monaco, and the result meant that he led the Drivers' Championship, seven
points ahead of Räikkönen and eight ahead of Massa. Ferrari maintained their lead in the
Constructors' Championship, 16 points ahead of McLaren and 17 ahead of BMW Sauber, with 12 races of the season remaining.
The (relatively) new template {{alum/start}} didn't have a sortable parameter. And I think that some parserfunctions may have changed as well. The question is, do we want to enable sorting by default? I designed the original template, and that's how I had it, and I doubt anyone is going to object to that feature. —

Räikkönen and Massa both made a clean start.
Renault's
Fernando Alonso, who started third, was overtaken by Trulli and
BMW Sauber driver
Robert Kubica. The front three of Räikkönen, Massa and Trulli maintained their positions through the first round of
pit stops. On lap 30, Räikkönen led Massa by six and a half seconds, and Trulli by 30 seconds. Just before half distance, Räikkönen's right exhaust pipe broke, which caused the engine to lose power. Massa, in second place, began lapping quicker than Räikkönen, and he caught and passed him on lap 39. Massa maintained his lead through the second round of pit stops, and won the race; Räikkönen finished almost 18 seconds behind. Trulli fended off
McLaren's
Heikki Kovalainen, who challenged him in the latter stages, to take third.
Massa's win promoted him into the lead of the
Drivers' Championship for the first time in his career, overtaking Kubica. Kubica was second, two points behind Massa, while Räikkönen was third. In the
Constructors' Championship, Ferrari increased their lead to 17 points ahead of BMW Sauber, McLaren a further 16 points behind in third.
Despite qualifying tenth, Massa missed the race due to suffering an accident in the second part of qualifying. He suffered a cut on his forehead, a bone damage of his skull and a brain concussion.

The Brabham BT46 was a
Formula Oneracing car, designed by
Gordon Murray for the
Brabham team, owned by
Bernie Ecclestone, for the
1978 Formula One season. The car featured several radical design elements, the most obvious of which was the use of flat panel heat exchangers on the bodywork of the car to replace conventional water and oil
radiators. The concept did not work in practice and was removed before the car’s race debut, never to be seen again. The cars, powered by a
flat-12Alfa Romeo engine, raced competitively with modified nose-mounted radiators for most of the year, driven by
Niki Lauda and
John Watson, winning one race in this form and scoring sufficient points for the team to finish third in the constructors championship.
The "B" variant of the car, also known as the "fan car", was introduced at the
1978 Swedish Grand Prix as a counter to the dominant ground effect
Lotus 79. The BT46B generated an immense level of
downforce by means of a fan, claimed to be for increased cooling, but which also extracted air from beneath the car. The car only raced once in this configuration in the Formula One World Championship—when Niki Lauda won the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix at
Anderstorp. The car was withdrawn before it could race again and the concept was declared illegal by the
FIA. The BT46B therefore preserves a 100% winning record.

The race was dominated, however, by the fight between championship protagonists
Michael Schumacher (Benetton) and
Damon Hill (Williams). Hill, who started from
pole position, retained his lead during the opening stages of the race whilst Schumacher, who started alongside him on the grid, fell behind Alesi in the run to the first corner. Despite being held up behind the slower Ferrari until it pitted, Schumacher used a more favourable one-stop strategy to move ahead of Hill, who made two pit stops for fuel and tyres, on lap 41. Four laps later, Hill attempted to pass Schumacher, but the two collided and were forced to retire from the race. This promoted the battling Herbert and Coulthard into the fight for the lead. Coulthard passed Herbert, but dropped back to third after incurring a
stop-go penalty for speeding in the pit lane.
* Barrichello had originally qualified fifth, but received a 5-place grid penalty for a gearbox change between FP3 and qualifying. He moved back up to ninth, after Heidfeld's penalty.
[8]
Nick Heidfeld originally qualified eighth (1:49.307), but was sent to the back of the grid, for his car being underweight after qualifying. His team also changed the gearbox and engine.
[9]
‡ Nakajima set his time during the second part of qualifying, as he failed to make the top ten.
* Sutil and Barrichello received five-place grid penalties for speeding in a neutralised yellow flag zone, following an incident involving
Sébastien Buemi in the second part of qualifying.
[10]
Jenson Button (7th, 1:32.962) and
Fernando Alonso (12th, 1:31.638) also received a five-place grid penalty for the same offence.
Buemi (10th, no time) himself received a five-place penalty for driving his damaged
Toro Rosso back to the pits, and impeding other cars.
Heikki Kovalainen (9th, no time) received a five-place grid penalty for changing his gearbox after a crash during Q3.
† All times were recorded in the second part of qualifying, as they did not make the top ten originally.

The DAMS GD-01 was an unraced
Formula One car used by the
Frenchmotorsport team,
Driot-Arnoux Motor Sport (DAMS). The GD-01 was designed and built by a collaboration of DAMS and
Reynard engineers from 1994 to 1995, and was intended to establish the team—which had achieved considerable success in lower categories—in Formula One, but a continuing lack of finance meant that the team never entered the championship, despite completing construction of the chassis and conducting some testing.
I'm interested in reviving COTM. If you don't have the time, I'd gladly take stewardship over it until you'd like to spearhead it again. Since the "current" COTM from Dec/Jan still hasn't been nominated for GA status, perhaps we could add a secondary objective to future COTM announcements that is easier to attain, like improving some stub or start class articles. That would be particularly useful for editors who would like to participate but just happen to know very little about the one big article that's on its way from B to GA status. Let me know what you think. -

Wow, I'm glad finally someone decided to revive the program.
WP:UNI/COTF used to have three objectives, something like what you're thinking about. Take the initiative and start the program back up. I'll pop in every once in a while to help out if you need me.

Fittipaldi Automotive, sometimes called Copersucar after its first major sponsor, was the only
Formula One motor racing team and constructor ever to be based in
Brazil. It was formed during 1974 by racing driver
Wilson Fittipaldi and his younger brother, double world champion
Emerson, with money from the Brazilian sugar and alcohol cooperative
Copersucar. In 1976 Emerson surprised the motor racing world by leaving the title-winning
McLaren team to drive for the unsuccessful family outfit. Future world champion
Keke Rosberg took his first podium finish in Formula One with the team.
The team was based in
São Paulo, almost 6,000 miles (10,000 km) away from the centre of the world motor racing industry in the UK, before moving to
Reading,
UK during 1974. It participated in 119 grands prix between 1975 and 1982, entering a total of 156 cars. It achieved 3 podiums and scored 44 championship points.

The 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix (formally the XXIII ING Magyar Nagydíj) was a
Formula One motor race held on August 3, 2008 at the
Hungaroring,
Budapest,
Hungary. It was the eleventh race of the
2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 70 laps, was won by
Heikki Kovalainen for the
McLaren team after starting from second position.
Timo Glock finished second in a
Toyota car, with
Kimi Räikkönen third in a
Ferrari. It marked Kovalainen's first Formula One victory, which made him the sport's 100th driver to win a World Championship race, and it was also Glock's first podium finish.
Much of the race, however, was dominated by a duel between
Lewis Hamilton and
Felipe Massa, who drove for McLaren and Ferrari respectively. Hamilton started from
pole position on the starting grid but was beaten into the first corner by Massa, who passed him around the outside. The two championship protagonists commenced a battle for the lead that was resolved when Hamilton suffered a
puncture just over half-way through the race, giving Massa a comfortable lead. The Ferrari's engine, however, failed with three laps of the race remaining, allowing Kovalainen to take the win.

Formula One, abbreviated to F1, is the highest class of
open-wheeledauto racing defined by the
Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motorsport's world governing body. The "formula" in the name refers to a set of rules to which all participants and cars must conform. The F1 world championship season consists of a series of races, known as
Grands Prix, held usually on purpose-built
circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets. Drivers are awarded points based on their position in each race, and the driver who accumulates the most points over each calendar year is crowned that year's
World Champion. As of the
2009 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, there have been 820 FIA
World Championship races since its first event, the
1950 British Grand Prix.
Seven-time champion
Michael Schumacher holds the record for the most championships, while his 91 wins, 154 podium finishes and 68 pole positions are also records.
Rubens Barrichello has entered more Grands Prix than anyone else—288 times in total—as well as having made an unsurpassed 284 race starts. The
United Kingdom is the most represented nation, having produced a total of 157 different drivers. Eight nations have been represented by just one.
Poland became the latest country to be represented by a driver when
Robert Kubica made his
Formula One debut at the
2006 Hungarian Grand Prix.

Grand Prix 2, sometimes known as "GP2" and sold in the
American market as Grand Prix II, is a
racing simulator released by
MicroProse in
1996. It was made under an official FIA license that featured the
Formula One1994 season, with all of the circuits, teams, drivers and cars. The cars were painted with liveries reflecting the races that did not allow tobacco and beer sponsors (i.e.
1994 French Grand Prix).
It had 3D texture mapping and
SVGA graphics, as well as an early but realistic physics
engine. A large community of GP2 enthusiasts formed quickly and still exists today. Grand Prix 2 is recognized as one of the definitive racing simulations of its era.
I am a faculty member in France. My domain is computer science and geometric modelling. I have a problem I don't know how to solve. I submitted it to many colleagues from various domains who couldn't help.
I just saw your wikipage about the prismatic joint and may be you know the solution or have suggestions. Would you agree that I send you my problem and you tell me what you think (it's about how to check - with a program - that a part can serve as a guide for another part, so that the only degree of freedom for the guided part is a given translation).

Senna began his motorsport career in
karting and moved up the ranks to win the
British Formula 3 championship in 1983. Making his Formula One debut with
Toleman in
1984, he moved to
Lotus-Renault the following
year, and won six Grands Prix over the next three seasons. In
1988 he joined Frenchman
Alain Prost at
McLaren-
Honda. Between them, Senna and Prost won fifteen out of the sixteen Grands Prix which took place that season, with Senna winning his first
World Championship, a title he would go on to win again in
1990 and
1991. McLaren's performance declined in
1992, as the
Williams-
Renault combination began to dominate the sport, although Senna won five races to finish as runner-up in
1993. He moved to Williams in
1994, but suffered a
fatal accident at the third race of the season at the
Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Italy.
Senna is regarded as one of the greatest drivers in the history of Formula One. In 2009, a poll of 217 current and former
Formula One drivers chose Senna as their greatest Formula One driver, in a survey conducted by British magazine
Autosport. He was recognised for his qualifying speed over one lap and from
1989 until
2006 held the record for most
pole positions. He was among the most talented drivers in extremely rain-affected conditions, as shown by his performances in the
1984 Monaco Grand Prix, the
1985 Portuguese Grand Prix, and the
1993 European Grand Prix. He also holds the record for most victories at the prestigious
Monaco Grand Prix (6) and is the third most successful driver of all time in terms of
race wins. However, Senna courted controversy throughout his career, particularly during his turbulent rivalry with
Alain Prost, which was marked by two championship-deciding collisions at the
1989 and
1990 Japanese Grands Prix.

Article of the month –
Bruce McLaren, current Start-Class article.
Bruce Leslie McLaren (30 August 1937 – 2 June 1970), born in
Auckland,
New Zealand, was a race-car designer, driver, engineer and inventor.
His name lives on in the
McLaren team which has been one of the most successful in
Formula One championship history, with McLaren cars and drivers winning a total of 20 world championships. McLaren cars totally dominated
CanAm sports car racing with 56 wins, a considerable number of them with him behind the wheel, between 1967 and 1972 (and five constructors’ championships), and have won three
Indianapolis 500 races, as well as
24 Hours of Le Mans and
12 Hours of Sebring.
As a nine year old, McLaren contracted
Perthes disease in his hip which left his left leg shorter than the right. He spent two years in traction, but later often had a slight limp.
Les and Ruth McLaren, his parents, owned a service station and workshop in
Remuera,
Auckland. Bruce spent all of his free hours hanging around the workshop. The McLaren family homestead is located in Ngaruawahia in the Northern Waikato region and still stands today.
Michael Schumacher (6th, + 5.712) was given a 20-second penalty after the race for passing Fernando Alonso under neutralised safety car conditions, under which the race finished.
