## What it is
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

## Facets
