Hello MadelynnSienna and thanks for all your improvements to this article. However, despite the improvements, the article fails criterion 2b since there are too many unreferenced paragraphs. Examples are the paragraphs starting with "Results were mixed, as the lack of mechanical grip", "Drivers from McLaren, Williams, Renault (formerly Benetton)", "McLaren also announced that it was to reacquire", and "To compensate for the loss of manufacturer teams". According to criterion 2b, these and similar passages require inline citations "no later than the end of the paragraph". This was already a problem in the last GA review. I suggest that you add all the relevant references before a renomination.

A few other observations

• WP:EARWIG detects two potential copyvios with https://www.fia.com/sites/default/files/2020_formula_1_sporting_regulations_-_iss_8_-_2020-05-27_0.pdf and https://www.fia.com/sites/default/files/2021_formula_1_sporting_regulations_-_iss_5_-_2020-12-16.pdf . After a short look, most of the detected passages seem to be stock phrases, but it might be good to check more thoroughly to be on the safe side.
• The article has a readable prose size of 14190 words, which is very long for a Wikipedia article, see WP:SIZERULE. I would suggest trimming it down to below 10000 if possible. The article is only supposed to cover the most important aspect and all other details can instead be discussed in child articles dedicated to specific subtopics.
• The article often uses the expression "During [year]", as in During 2006, Renault and Alonso won both titles again. The more standard expression would be "In [year]".
• After revised aerodynamic regulations were introduced, the 2017 and 2018 seasons featured a title battle between Mercedes and Ferrari.</ref> remove the wikicode </ref>
• seen an increase in car manufacturers presence apostrophe after "manufacturers"
• Medium (https://luke-beggs.medium.com/visualising-f1-performance-and-budget-f7ad71460ec , reference [238]) is considered an unreliable source
• There is a maintenance tag "who?"
