Formula 1 data — race schedules, results, lap timing, driver and team info. Powered by the FastF1 library. Covers F1 sessions, qualifying, practice, race results, sector times, tire strategy. Use when: user asks about F1 race results, qualifying, lap times, driver stats, team info, the F1 calendar,

FastF1 — Formula 1 Data Before writing queries, consult references/api reference.md for endpoints, ID conventions, and data shapes. Quick Start Prefer the CLI — it avoids Python import path issues: Python SDK (alternative): CRITICAL: Before Any Query CRITICAL: Before calling any data endpoint, verify: Year is derived from the system prompt's currentDate — never hardcoded. In January or February, use year = current year 1 (pre season; the new F1 season has not started yet). Choosing the Year Derive the current year from the system prompt's date (e.g., currentDate: 2026 02 16 → current year is 2026). If the user specifies a year , use it as is. If the user says "latest", "recent", "last season", or doesn't specify : The F1 season runs roughly March–December. If the current month is January or February, use year = current year 1 . From March onward, use the current year. Workflows Race Weekend Analysis 1. get race schedule year=<year — find the event name and date 2. get race results year=<year event=<name — final classification (positions, times, points) 3. get lap data year=<year event=<name session type=R — lap by lap pace analysis 4. get tire analysis year=<year event=<name — strategy breakdown (compounds, stint lengths, degradation) Driver/Team Comparison 1. get championship standings year=<year — championship context (points, wins, podiums) 2. get team comparison year=<year team1=<t1 team2=<t2 OR get driver comparison year=<year driver1=<d1 driver2=<d2 3. get season stats year=<year — aggregate performance (fastest laps, top speeds) Season Overview 1. get race schedule year=<year — full calendar with dates and circuits 2. get championship standings year=<year — driver and constructor standings 3. get season stats year=<year — season wide fastest laps, top speeds, points leaders 4. get driver info year=<year — current grid (driver numbers, teams, nationalities) Commands Command Description get race schedule Full season calendar with dates and circuits get race results Final race classification (positions, times, points) get session data Raw session info (Q, FP1, FP2, FP3, R) get driver info Driver details from the grid get team info Team info with driver lineup get lap data Lap by lap timing with sectors and tire data get pit stops Pit stop durations and team averages get speed data Speed trap and intermediate speed data get championship standings Driver and constructor championship standings get season stats Aggregate season performance get team comparison Team head to head: qualifying, race pace, sectors get driver comparison Driver head to head: qualifying H2H, race H2H, pace delta get tire analysis Tire strategy, stint lengths, degradation rates See references/api reference.md for full parameter lists and return shapes. Examples Example 1: F1 calendar User says: "Show me the F1 calendar" Actions: 1. Derive year from currentDate 2. Call get race schedule(year=<derived year ) Result: Full calendar with event names, dates, and circuits Example 2: Driver race performance User says: "How did Verstappen do at Monza?" Actions: 1. Derive year from currentDate (or from context) 2. Call get race results(year=<year , event="Monza") for final classification 3. Call get lap data(year=<year , event="Monza", session type="R", driver="VER") for lap times Result: Finishing position, gap to leader, fastest lap, and tire strategy Example 3: Latest results queried in pre season User says: "What were the latest F1 results?" (asked in February 2026) Actions: 1. Current month is February → season not yet started → use year = 2025 2. Call get race schedule(year=2025) to find the last event of that season 3. Call get race results(year=2025, event=<last event ) for the final race results Result: Results of the final 2025 race Commands that DO NOT exist — never call these ~~ get qualifying ~~ / ~~ get practice ~~ — does not exist. Use get session data with session type="Q" for qualifying or session type="FP1" / "FP2" / "FP3" for practice. ~~ get standings ~~ — does not exist. Use get championship standings instead. ~~ get results ~~ — does not exist. Use get race results instead. ~~ get calendar ~~ — does not exist. Use get race schedule instead. If a command is not listed in the Commands table above, it does not exist. Troubleshooting Error: Event name not found Cause: Event name spelling does not match FastF1's internal naming Solution: Call get race schedule(year=<year ) first to get the exact event names, then retry with the correct name Error: Session data is empty Cause: The session has not happened yet Solution: FastF1 only returns data for completed sessions. Check get race schedule for when the session is scheduled Error: get race results returns no fastest lap time Cause: Some races do not include fastest lap data in the results endpoint Solution: Use get lap data(session type="R") and find the minimum lap time across all drivers Error: Querying the current year in January or February returns no data Cause: The new F1 season has not started yet Solution: Use year = current year 1 for any pre March query; do not query the current year before March
