OpenF1 is a free, open-source API providing real-time and historical Formula 1 data, including lap timings, car telemetry, driver info, and race control messages. It is built in Python with MongoDB, comprising scraping/ingestion pipelines and a query API serving JSON or CSV.

Use cases

• get live F1 lap times and driver positions during a race
• fetch historical F1 race data for analysis
• access car telemetry like throttle, brake, DRS and gears
• build an F1 dashboard with driver and team stats
• analyze race strategy across seasons
• integrate Formula 1 data into my app via API

When to choose

• you need free programmatic access to F1 timing, telemetry, or driver data
• you want real-time live timing feeds during sessions
• you want to self-host the full data pipeline and API
• you're building dashboards, models, or analytics on F1 data

When to avoid

• you need officially licensed Formula 1 data or a commercial guarantee
• you need data for other racing series or sports
• you want a turnkey hosted product without running MongoDB and ingestion services
