Our editorial corrections policy explains how Mr DCT creates, reviews, updates, and corrects its Formula 1 coverage. Mr DCT is an independent Formula 1 publication and merchandise site. Our editorial goal is to give fans clear, useful analysis that explains what happened, why it mattered, and what to watch next.
Editorial corrections policy standards
Race coverage, analysis, predictions, technical explainers, and opinion pieces are created for Mr DCT’s audience. Editorial decisions are based on reader value, accuracy, and relevance—not on advertising relationships or merchandise sales. Sponsored, affiliate, or otherwise commercial content will be clearly identified when applicable.
Original reporting and analysis
We aim to add context and judgment beyond information available in schedules, timing sheets, standings, and official releases. Articles should answer a clear reader question and distinguish verified facts from the author’s analysis, opinion, or prediction. We do not knowingly publish scraped, copied, or lightly rewritten material. When we build on reporting from another publication, we identify and link to the original source whenever practical.
Sources and verification
We check factual claims against reliable sources, including materials published by Formula 1, the FIA, teams, circuits, and championships when appropriate. Statistics, regulations, quotations, weather information, and breaking developments are reviewed before publication. When facts remain uncertain, disputed, or likely to change, the article should say so clearly rather than present speculation as confirmed information.
We prefer primary sources for race results, stewarding decisions, regulations, calendars, and official statements. Secondary reporting may be used for context or developing stories, but important claims should be corroborated when possible. Anonymous or unverified social media posts are not treated as established fact.
Accuracy and publication speed
Formula 1 news can develop quickly, especially during race weekends. We value timely coverage, but speed does not remove the obligation to verify information. A developing article may be updated as official results, penalties, quotations, or technical details become available. Headlines and social copy should accurately reflect the article and should not exaggerate what the available evidence supports.
AI-assisted work
Automated tools may assist with research organization, outlining, editing, image production, or other publishing tasks. They do not replace editorial judgment. Any assisted work must be fact-checked, substantially reviewed, and shaped with original analysis before publication. We do not knowingly publish unreviewed automated articles or present synthetic material as verified documentary evidence.
Analysis, predictions, and opinion
Predictions and opinion are labeled through context and supported with reasoning. Readers should be able to understand the evidence behind a conclusion, even when they disagree with it. Opinion does not excuse factual inaccuracy; statements about results, rules, quotations, and other verifiable matters remain subject to the same standards as news coverage.
Corrections and updates
Under this editorial corrections policy, when we discover a meaningful factual error, we correct it promptly. Substantial corrections or updates may be noted in the article so readers understand what changed. Minor spelling, grammar, formatting, or clarity edits may be made without a separate note. Updating a developing story with newly confirmed information is different from correcting an error, though significant changes may still be explained for transparency.
Correction requests are reviewed against the article, supporting evidence, and reliable primary sources. If a claim is accurate but unclear, we may revise the wording for precision. If evidence is inconclusive, we may add context or identify the point as disputed rather than remove it without explanation.
How to request a correction
If you believe an article contains an error, email support@mrdct.com or use our Contact page. Please include the article title or URL, the statement in question, an explanation of the concern, and a reliable source when possible. We review specific correction requests in good faith and apply this editorial corrections policy consistently.
Conflicts, commercial content, and disclosure
Merchandise, advertising, affiliate relationships, gifts, or other commercial considerations do not determine our editorial conclusions. Any material relationship relevant to a story or recommendation will be disclosed. Product coverage and links to the Mr DCT shop should not be presented as independent testing unless that testing actually occurred.
Bylines and accountability
Articles identify their author or publisher. Mr DCT is responsible for the site’s editorial standards and welcomes specific, constructive feedback from readers. This editorial corrections policy may be updated as our publishing practices evolve.
