Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

La Bombonera — The stadium was named on April 20, 1986, by team President Antonio Alegre in honor of Camilo Cichero, a former team president under whose tenure work on La Bombonera began. — This is incorrect because the naming was done by the club's assembly, not solely by P

La Bombonera — The stadium's first official name was 'Camilo Cichero', given on April 20, 1986, before being renamed to Estadio Alberto José Armando on December 27, 2000. — This is misleading because the stadium's original official name at opening in 1940 was 'Estadio Boca J

Allianz Arena — The entry states the stadium hosted the 2025 Champions League Final, moved from 2023. In reality, the 2025 final was not moved from 2023; the 2023 final was originally scheduled for Istanbul and later moved to Atatürk Olympic Stadium.

Allianz Arena — The entry says the stadium has a 70,000 seating capacity for international matches and 75,000 for domestic matches. The actual capacities are 70,000 for domestic matches and approximately 67,000 for international matches.

Rudolf Uhlenhaut — The W194 was a 1952 sports car (300SL) and the W196 was a 1954-55 Grand Prix car, not pre-war.

Rudolf Uhlenhaut — The 1954-55 W196 used a straight-8 engine, not a V8.

W125 — The W125's engine displacement was never increased from 5.6 to 6.0 liters; the 1937 regulations capped supercharged engines at 4.5 liters, and the W125 used a 5.66-liter supercharged straight-eight.

W125 — The standard Grand Prix W125 did not set land speed records; only a modified version (the W125 Rekordwagen) set a world speed record in 1938.

W196 — The W196 used a spaceframe chassis, not a monocoque.

W196 — The W196's 2.5L Inline-8 engine was naturally aspirated, not supercharged.

Paddy Lowe — Lowe's tenure at Mercedes was 2013–2016, not 2013–2021; he left the team in early 2017.

Paddy Lowe — Lowe did not move to Aston Martin; after leaving Mercedes, he joined Williams as Chief Technical Officer in 2017.

Juan Manuel Fangio Championship Wins (1954-1955) — The 'Key Achievement' claim that Fangio's 1954 title was the first World Championship for Mercedes in the modern Formula One era is inaccurate; the modern era (post-2010) first championship was in 2014 with Lewis Hamilton.

Juan Manuel Fangio Championship Wins (1954-1955) — The claim that Fangio drove the entire 1955 Argentine Grand Prix alone and set the fastest lap is incorrect; he shared the car with a teammate under shared-drive rules, and the fastest lap was set by another driver.

Sauber Technical Partnership Era (1994-2009) — The entry states Sauber exited the sport in 2025 as the fourth-oldest constructor in history by races started. This is speculative about the future; as of the established canon up to 2024, Sauber had not yet exited, and its ranking is not fixed.

Sauber Technical Partnership Era (1994-2009) — The entry states the team purchased customer Ferrari power from 2010 to 2025. In canon, Sauber used Ferrari engines from 2010 to 2013, then switched to Ferrari-powered customer engines from 2014 onward, but the phrasing 'purchased customer Ferrari power' is va
