Featured article review needed[edit]

This is a 2006 Featured article that has not been maintained to FA standards.

There is considerable uncited text.
There is MOS:SANDWICHing and poor image layout.
There is not a consistent citation style.
There are marginal sources, sample: https://www.prostfan.com/
Why are the books in Further reading not used as sources?
The Table in "Racing record" needs to be reviewed for Accessibility issues.
There are short, stubby paragraphs indicating recent additions suffer from WP:PROSELINE (sample section After Prost Grand Prix).
A copyedit is needed, sample: 2001 saw some much needed optimism for the team as Ferrari agreed to be the team's engine supplier for the season, the team now moving in the right direction.

Unless these issues can be addressed with a considerable update, rewrite, copyedit and sourcing, the article should be submitted to Featured article review. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:15, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the issues should be resolved now. --Dallavid (talk) 15:11, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
