• I would like to suggest File:Gaetano di Mauro 2024.jpg or File:Gaetano di Mauro 2024 (cropped).jpg as the hook image. Bremps... 05:52, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

The article meets the freshness and length criteria. I see no copyright issues. I like ALT1 better. I see sentences with no citations at the ends of three paragraphs. Furthermore I see no citations in the "Karting record" and "Racing record" sections. Is this something that can be addressed, Mitchea99? Surtsicna (talk)

Mitch is currently away (per their userpage), so I'm assisting them with adding the missing sources. The issues with the ends of the paragraphs have been resolved, and the tables will hopefully be done soon. I'll reply to this again when the tables have been fixed.

Notifying User:Surtsicna that the referencing concerns are almost fully resolved now, with the only thing being unreferenced is the Stock Light results. I'm still trying to find something for that (there's a website that I found but it won't load). If I'm unable to find anything, then I'll put it into an invisible comment for now. I informed Mitch about this (offwiki) but due to timezone differences I figured I would just send this reply now so any other concerns can be fixed, if any.

Thanks for notifying, GalacticVelocity08. We are close to wrapping this up. Surtsicna (talk) 07:43, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

I'm still unable to find a source for the Stock Light section; I found something for 2018 but it isn't a perfect match, and absolutely nothing for 2017. I've contacted one person to ask but in the mean time it's in an invisible comment until a source can be found. If anything else needs to be fixed before this DYK can proceed, please let me know. Thank you for the patience! GalacticVelocity08 (talk) 00:16, 13 July 2025 (UTC)

@Mitchea99: Please address the above. Z1720 (talk) 23:36, 19 July 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the ping. I'm on vacation without my laptop and a cheap phone (watch me somehow break this page formatting) so haven't been checking wiki much. I've gone through archive.org to find the Stock Light points documents, the sources should be added soon. Thanks everyone for the help. Mitchea99 (talk) 00:31, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

@Mitchea99: Sorry to ping you again, but did you finish with the above task and is this article ready for a re-review? Z1720 (talk) 16:38, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

@Z1720:Yes, the sources are added, it should be ready. Mitchea99 (talk) 17:20, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

@Surtsicna: Pinging to let you know that this is ready for your re-review. Z1720 (talk) 17:25, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

With all sources provided and no QPQ needed, we are ready for lights out! Surtsicna (talk) 12:18, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
