Hi Vivec,
Apologies – now published.
Thanks for the reminder.

Hi Chris,
Want to thank you again for this amazing resource!
I’ve recently put racing-statistics.com live. It’s mostly geared towards comparison of drivers, constructors and careers. More to come in the next few weeks and months.
Could not have done this without your data!
cheers!

Hello, as always love the work you do for this site. just one question, do you know when you will be updating 2018 drivers. I only ask as my site relies on your data
Hi James,
I’ve added all the prospective drivers I’m aware of to the database. A list of drivers and constructors for the year is only available after the first race, due to the design of the database. The logic here is that you never really know who’s going to turn up at the first race (remembering the US F1 hype)
Chris
wow thanks. forgot about that. great work as always….
Hi,
Thanks for great work You do. I’m using this data for challenge with colleagues about race standings. But we using for the challenge and Practice results.
Do You have plans add Practice results?
Hi Chris
I was wondering whether the issue with the import of the lap times is still likely to be an issue this season? When would you typically expect a full update to be completed after a race? And also the likely lag to the disc image? I understand this will vary and is on a best endeavors basis but just wanting to get an idea of how quickly after races we might be able to publish some analysis.
Many thanks
Toby
Hi Rolandas,
Unfortunately that would be a lot of extra work because of the number of sessions, so I haven’t attempted it.
Chris
Hi Toby,
Hopefully I can keep to the original target of 3 – 6 hrs after the race. However, the first race of the season often throws up some surprises so I can’t guarantee this initially.
Chris
For the schedule – is it race only, or is it possible to retrieve times of practice/qualifying sessions?
Also, is there somewhere you source this data from automatically, or do you enter it manually once a year?
Thanks
Hi Chris
Just a heads up in case you weren’t aware. It looks like the race data is updated for access via the API but the db image was last updated 18/3 so doesn’t yet include data for the Australian GP.
Cheers
Toby
Hi Toby, Thanks for the reminder – now updated. I was pre-occupied fixing problems with the data import on race day.
Chris
Hi Jon,
The schedule is currently race only. There are various sources but they’re not usually in a convenient format!
Chris
I downloaded the db image & opened in MySQL. Lap times from Australian GP aren’t in there, unless I’m doing something wrong.
Hi Dakota, Apologies. Check the lastest image – they should be there.
Chris
Perfect! Thanks so much. This website is awesome.
Hi Chris
Just looking at the pitstops table for the Chinese GP for 2017 (raceId==970). There seems to be 82 records? For example Massa and Perez have 6 pitstops recorded for China 2017. Something looks amiss.
I am planning to write some validation code do a range of checks on the database sometime soon which should help to turn up anything that looks odd like this. Will let you know once when I make some progress.
Cheers
Toby
Hi Toby, I think it was an unusual race with lots of changes between wet, intermediate and slick tyres. You can check here: https://www.fia.com/events/fia-formula-one-world-championship/season-2017/eventtiming-information-27
Validation tests would be good though!
Chris
Thanks Chris, I did do a spot check on lap times to try to make sense of the stops but clearly didn’t look closely enough! Will let you know when I make some progress on validation
Cheers
Toby
This is a great resource, thank you!
Are there plans to add tire data in the future?
Cheers,
Felipe
Hi Felipe,
Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find a consistent and reliable source of tyre data. It would be great to include it
Chris
