Some good pictures are now available commons. Here are a few: 1, 2, 3, 4. ^LeaveSleaves 02:56, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've used File:Button 2009 Malaysian GP 1.jpg. These are not bad snaps, thanks for suggesting them. Apterygial 00:58, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is a great image. Good enough to be here? This is one of very, very few images to show all the cars for the start of a race. Darth Newdar (talk) 19:06, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've added it. My only concern would be that we already have an image from that race (Selected picture 2). Should be fine, though. Apterygial 23:54, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A possible featured image for here - I presume we want more? Darth Newdar (talk) 18:38, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We do, but this picture (I'm not great on terminology) has some colour issues, and the car itself appears too bright. Detail also appears to be obscured when viewed from the size the portal runs. I'm occasionally willing to make exceptions in photo quality if the picture was taken at a great race for the driver in question, but I think we can agree this was not Alonso's best. So yes, more photos would be good, but not this one. Apterygial 00:29, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is definitely a great picture, especially as its the current WP:F1 logo. Darth Newdar (talk) 17:06, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good choice. A year he won the Championship, and he also won this race. In my opinion the fact it's our logo works against it, but not enough to warrant its exclusion. Apterygial 09:39, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
