Usage

Sebastian Vettel


Ayrton Senna


First/Last race
The First/Last race fields should contain the first/last races for which the driver was *entered*, even if they didn't actually start the race.

Teams field
The "Teams" field should be populated with a list of the chassis makes the driver drove, rather than a list of teams for which they drove. So, Alain Prost's infobox contains "Teams: McLaren, Renault, Ferrari, Williams", rather than "Teams: Marlboro Team McLaren, Equipe Renault Elf, Marlboro McLaren International, Honda Marlboro McLaren, Scuderia Ferrari, Canon Williams Renault". The main rationale for this is to keep the information in the infobox concise, noting that the team names are listed in the driver's F1 results table.

BF1 fields
The "BF1" fields contain details of the driver's participation in the British Formula One Championship.

Updates
Following the final race of the season, the "YYYY Team" field for the following season is added but the existing field for the just-completed season is retained until the end of the calendar year.

On 1 January, the "YYYY Team" field for the previous season is replaced with a hidden placeholder for the season following the new season (e.g. on 1 January 2018, the 2017 field was replaced with a placeholder for 2019). The placeholder is employed to avoid editors "helpfully" renumbering the fields to close up the gaps, only for the fields to have to be renumbered again at the end of the season.
