Acknowledgements

This project leverages FastF1, an excellent Python package for accessing Formula 1 data. We are grateful to its maintainers and contributors.

This project was inspired by rakeshgangwar/f1-mcp-server which was written in TypeScript. The f1_data.py module was mostly adapted from their source code.
