[edit] Collision > Accident

Regarding the recent repeated edits to this page by an anonymous IP address (220.221.17.213 & 222.225.117.108) - the F1 results at www.formula1.com use 'collision', 'spun off' etc, which are more specific and informative. Assuming good faith on the part the anonymous editor - please state your reasons for continuously altering the results here from those at the official site. The changes have been reported, reluctantly, as apparent vandalism. As always - glad to talk: --4u1e 15:02, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Tyrrell 019 did not appear at this race

This section of the article is incorrect:

Tyrrell had another surprise for the first race of the season. Their new car, the 018 -- designed by Harvey Postlethwaite, was the first in F1 to sport a "high-nose" design with downward-extending supports for the front wing.

The Tyrrell 018 was used for this race, as well as the following event (1990 Brazilian GP); but the high-nosed Tyrrell 019 didn't appear until the San Marino GP. It wasn't a backup/spare/T-car at either of the preceding events, according to Autocourse 1990-91. Since it was a historically significant F1 car, as it was the first "high-nosed" Grand Prix car in modern times, this should be removed from the article, and clarified as such.
