For the F1 tech nerds out there, this might be of interest. The Ergast Developer API is a non-commercial service containing over 70 years of Formula One data including:
- Season Lists
- Race Schedules
- Race Results
- Qualifying Results
- Standings
- Driver Information
- Constructor Information
- Circuit Information
- Finishing Statuses
- Lap Times
- Pit Stops
I love APIs like this but the possibilities are so broad, I wouldn’t know where to begin. Hopefully, someone reading this has ideas and can make awesome apps and scripts with this bounty of Formula One data. I think one of the most intriguing things to analyse would be how pit stop times have decreased over the years. I still remember when they were 20 seconds long!
