I've listed this article for peer review because I want to take it to FAC soon and it's always good to sort out problem areas beforehand. Thanks in advance for the comments, Apterygial 08:42, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Here's what I picked up on after a read-through:
Background
- "one-two finishes" - a little jargony perhaps
- I've linked the term to wiktionary, as I don't think there is a more succinct way of phrasing that sentence. Apterygial 00:10, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
Prac & Quali
- "was joined on the front row by Räikkönen." - by team-mate Räikkönen?
- "Hamilton took third place on the grid, just 0.052 seconds covering the top three." - It feels like there's a word missing from this sentence. From a layman's point of view, you might need to make clearer what is meant by covering the top three.
- "Hamilton took third place on the grid, qualifying just 0.052 seconds behind Massa's time." Apterygial 00:10, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
- "Piquet lined up from 17th as Vettel managed 18th" - as > and
Race
- "Coulthard and Bourdais had taken essentially the same line into the barriers at Massenet just seconds apart, requiring the marshals to separate the cars and lift them off the track." - Doesn't put enough emphasis on them crashing into the barriers, I had to read it twice to get the meaning. Reword needed.
- Simplified to "Coulthard and Bourdais crashed into the barriers at Massenet just seconds apart, requiring the marshals to separate the cars and lift them off the track." Apterygial 00:10, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
- "but visited the on-site medical staff" - medical centre? Not sure what the facility at Monaco is.
- Nor am I, and the source isn't hugely useful in that regard. "On-site medical staff" seemed nice and neutral. Apterygial 00:10, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
- "The safety car peeled off on lap 68." - Peeled off doesn't have the right tone. "The safety car was withdrawn"?
- "Vettel took the STR3 to its first points" - mention again that it was the car's maiden race perhaps?
