[edit] Extra info
I have included information from a website as a comment appended to the end of this article for handy reference when I go to edit the page again. Please do not remove the information until I have finished verifying it and adding it to the article. Thanks. --Mal 19:11, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Debut
Verified and corrected debut. John's first drive was actually for Hexagon in the British GP in 73 driving an old Brabham BT37. His second race that year seems to have been actually for the works Brabham team, in their third car, which probably explains the 'Ceramica ....' ref, which from memory was the name of the entrant for at least one of the works cars. His next season was with Hexagon, who bought an old BT42 from Brabham which they apparantly modified. Most of this (except the detail of what the Ceramica entrant was) comes from the book now ref'd in the first para. Hope this is helpful! 4u1e 11:08, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Page Rename (move)
Can I propose that to tie in with Wikipedia naming conventions that this page needs renaming to John Watson (Racing Driver) rather than carrying the rather obscure John Marshall Watson which I doubt even his mother used! M100 19:10, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- Agree. -- Ian Dalziel 22:00, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
