Since this has caused a lot of back-and-forthing amongst several editors on this article, I am taking this matter here. With regards to Hadjar's nationality in the opening sentence, we have two options in line with consensus set in this discussion at WP:F1—that trivial secondary nationalities belong in the personal life section, not the lead:
Isack Alexandre Hadjar is a French and Algerian racing driver, [...] (current)
Isack Alexandre Hadjar is a French racing driver, [...]
Notes worth considering:
Hadjar was born and raised in France, and has only competed under the French flag.
The latter point could change in Formula One, as we have no confirmation he will continue under the French flag.
Hadjar's entire family is Algerian—to the best of my knowledge—and continue to live there.
To state the obvious, this is controversial; not only because of the back-and-forth reverts on this article, including questionable edit summaries [1][2], but also because of Islamophobia in France.
If it is decided that both should be mentioned, once he debuts in F1, the opening sentence will be expanded as such: "[...] who competes under the French/Algerian flag in Formula One [...]", per Max Verstappen, Nico Rosberg, Alex Albon, etc.
In that case, Support option 1. Algerian is relevant, and is notable enough for the lead. It's not like it's his distant ancestors, or he is 1/8 Algerian - from what's been reported, both of his parents are Algerian. GalacticVelocity08 (talk) 02:05, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
