The page needs updating to the 2014 grid but I don't have the time to do it all by myself.

Opening, not because it needs to be updated but because someone needs to say why we have this page. Formula One is not a work as of right now, and character pages with no tropes are a no-go anyway.

Aren't character pages about real people very intensely frowned upon? I don't see what the discussion here is- cut it.

I would imagine that whoever created it figured that having information about drivers would be much like having information about individual wrestlers.

Given that this is simply factual information (no tropes) about race car drivers, might it be more suitable for UsefulNotes.Formula One or UsefulNotes.Formula One Drivers?

Also, NASCAR is much the same thing.

^^ Agreed. It has much the same problem as the Beautiful Game discussion a couple weeks back - just endless lists of people without any real context or relation to tropes.

I'm also in favor of cutting this.

Edit: More importantly, why do we have character sheets for sports in the first place? Of the four entries on that page, one (Super Bowl) doesn't exist, the other three are just long lists and the European Championship page is a list of teams with very basic information.

So, we should move the drivers' trope entries to the relevant sections and remove the page? I'm fine with that.

Clock is set. I am fine with cutting this subpage altogether.
