Frequently Asked Questions

What data is available from the API?: Drivers (name, nationality, DOB, number), constructors, circuits (name, location, coordinates), race schedules, qualifying results, race results with positions, pit stop times, lap records, and championship standings.
How far back does the data go?: The API covers the entire history of Formula 1 from the first championship season in 1950 through to the current season. Every race, every driver, every constructor.
Can I get data for a specific race weekend?: Yes — use /races/{season}/{round} for a specific race, with sub-endpoints for qualifying, results, pitstops, and laps.
Are there any rate limits?: The API is free for reasonable usage. For high-volume applications (scraping the entire dataset), consider contacting the maintainers about bulk access options.
Does it support the new sprint race format?: Yes — sprint race results and sprint qualifying are included where applicable for seasons that use the sprint format (2021 onwards).
Is circuit coordinate data available?: Yes — each circuit entry includes latitude, longitude, locality, and country. Useful for mapping race locations and plotting grand prix venues.
