Data
Where every number comes from, and what we changed
- F1DBCC BY 4.0By Marcel Overdijk and contributors. Every World Championship weekend since 1950: practice, qualifying, grids, sprints, results, pit stops, fastest laps, Driver of the Day votes, standings, entry lists, chassis, engines, tyres, circuits, layouts, countries and driver families. Changes: selected tables and columns, split into per-season files, record books and pit-crew medians derived, converted to compact JSON.
- TracingInsightsMIT · Apache-2.0Telemetry, lap times, pit stops, race control messages and corner positions (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.17312802). The 2023 and 2024 archives are MIT; 2025 and 2026 are Apache-2.0. Changes: laps resampled onto a distance grid with time derived from speed and anchored to official sector times; race positions converted to per-second track progress; circuit outlines built from laps; converted to compact JSON.
- FastF1MITBy Philipp Schäfer and contributors. The library TracingInsights uses to collect timing and telemetry.
- Jolpica-F1Apache-2.0Ergast-compatible results API used by FastF1.
- MultiViewerCreditCircuit corner information, via FastF1 and TracingInsights.
