Races

Notes

Races are available since the first Formula 1 season in 1950.

The end date of the session is calculated by adding 2 hours to the start date.

For each race, there is one starting grid available.
Therefore, if there are two races during a weekend (e.g., Sprint and Main Race), there will be two separate grids.

However, at this time, it is not possible to determine if a driver started from the pit lane.

The fastestLap object follows different historical coverage rules depending on the era. Between 1950 and 1982, only the fastest lap of the race is available. From 1983 onward, fastest lap data is available for every driver who completed at least one lap.

Result Status Management

The result status is determined by combining two properties: Status and PositionStatus.

Here are the possible combinations according to FIA rules:

• Ok / Classified
• Ok / Disqualified
  Example: Hamilton - United States Grand Prix 2023
• Dnf / Classified (if the driver completed more than 90% of the race)
  Example: Russell - Australian Grand Prix 2024
• Dnf / NonClassified (if the driver completed less than 90% of the race)
  Example: Verstappen - Australian Grand Prix 2024
• Dnf / Disqualified
  Example: Hulkenberg - São Paulo Grand Prix 2024
• Dns / NonClassified
  Example: Albon - São Paulo Grand Prix 2024
