First/Last race change

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.

Car number fields change

Since 2014, Formula One drivers each select a permanent race number which they carry throughout their career (with the exception that the reigning World Champion has the option to carry the number '1' instead of their permanent number). Drivers whose number won't change between seasons (i.e. most of them) should have the "Car number" field populated and the "YYYY Car number" fields not populated. Drivers whose number will change between seasons (potentially the outgoing and new World Champions) should have the "YYYY Car Number" fields populated and the "Car Number" field not populated.

BF1 fields change

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

Updates change

Following the final race of the season, "Team" and "Car number" fields for the following season are added but the existing fields for the just-completed season are retained until the end of the calendar year.

On 1 January, the "Team" and "Car number" fields for the previous season are replaced with hidden placeholders for the season following the new season (e.g. on 1 January 2018, the 2017 fields were replaced with placeholders for 2019). The placeholders are 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.

Use as a child template change

This infobox may be used to create a genre-specific section within {{Infobox person}} (or similar biographical infobox templates) for cases where a person may be notable in more than one field; a generic example is shown below. For guidance on usage, see Wikipedia:Infobox modules. Also see the Template:Infobox documentation which explains embedding and subboxes.

{{Infobox person
| name = 
| image = 
| caption = 
| birth_date = 
| birth_place = 
| <!-- etc. -->
| module = 
  {{Infobox F1 driver | child=yes <!-- or embed=yes or subbox=yes -->
  |  Years            = 
  |  Team(s)          = 
  |  Races            = 
  |  Championships    = 
  | <!-- etc. -->
  }}
}}

The template may also be used as a subsection of {{Infobox racing driver}} as follows:

{{Infobox racing driver
| image           =
| caption         =
| nationality     =
| birth_name      =
| birth_date      =
| birth_place     =
| titles          =
| title years     =
| record template1 =
  {{Infobox F1 driver|child=yes
  | Years         =
  | Team(s)       =  
  | Races         =
  | Championships =
  }}
}}

Microformat change

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the person's details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia or via a browser tool operated by a reader, to (for example) add the subject to an address book or database. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Sub-templates change

Date-of-birth ("bday") information will only be included in the microformat if {{birth date}}, or {{birth date and age}} are used in the infobox. (Do not use these if the date is before 1583). Be cautious about using these if the person is still living, per WP:DOB.

To include a URL, use {{URL}}.

Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.

Classes change

hCard uses HTML classes including:

adr
agent
bday
birthplace
category
country-name
deathdate
deathplace
extended-address
family-name
fn (required)
given-name
honorific-prefix
honorific-suffix
label
locality
n
nickname
note
org
role
url
vcard

Please do not rename or remove these classes nor collapse nested elements which use them.
