🏎️ OpenF1 Formula 1 Telemetry Scraper

🚀 Export Formula 1 sessions, laps, telemetry, weather, and team radio in seconds. Pull historical and live F1 data from 2023 onwards across 12 data modes, filterable by year, session, driver, and meeting. No API key, no registration, no scraping browser.

The OpenF1 Formula 1 Telemetry Scraper exports the open F1 live data catalog and returns up to 50+ structured fields per record across sessions, race weekends, drivers, laps, intervals, pit stops, weather, in-car telemetry, tyre stints, position changes, race control messages, and team radio recordings. The underlying feed mirrors the official Formula 1 timing stream and has been one of the most cited open motorsport sources since 2023.

Coverage spans every Grand Prix weekend from the 2023 season onwards, including Sprint Saturdays, Sprint Shootouts, qualifying sessions, free practice, and full Grand Prix races. Records are returned as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML in under a minute. All filters run on the source, so you skip every parser and reverse-engineering step.

📋 What the OpenF1 Scraper does

Twelve data modes in a single Actor:

• 🏁 Sessions. Every practice, qualifying, sprint, and race session with circuit, country, GMT offset, and timestamps.
• 🏆 Meetings. Full race weekend metadata (Grand Prix name, official name, circuit image, country flag).
• 👤 Drivers. Per-session driver lineup with team name, driver number, and full name.
• ⏱️ Laps. Lap-by-lap duration plus per-sector times for every car on track.
• 📏 Intervals. Gap-to-leader and interval between successive cars during a session.
• 🛠️ Pit stops. Pit duration and lap number for every stop.
• 🌦️ Weather. Air and track temperature, humidity, wind speed sampled live.
• 🚗 Car telemetry. Speed, throttle, brake, RPM, gear, and DRS state per car.
• 🛞 Tyre stints. Compound, stint number, lap range, and tyre age at start.
• 📍 Position changes. Live running order updates throughout a session.
• 🚦 Race control. Yellow flags, virtual safety car, blue flags, and incident messages.
• 📻 Team radio. Direct links to original team radio recordings per driver.

Each record carries cross-mode keys (sessionKey, meetingKey, driverNumber) so you can JOIN sessions to laps, weather, telemetry, or stints in your warehouse.

💡 Why it matters: Formula 1 timing data powers fantasy leagues, betting models, broadcast graphics, and strategy ML pipelines. Building your own ingestion pipeline means decoding live timing protocols, handling sector splits, and re-syncing on every red flag. This Actor skips all of that.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: airTemperature, brake, category, circuitImage, circuitKey, circuitShortName, circuitType, compound, countryCode, countryFlag, countryKey, countryName, date, dateEnd, dateStart, driverNumber, drs, durationSector1, durationSector2, durationSector3, flag, fullName, gapToLeader, gear, gmtOffset, humidity, imageUrl, interval, isCancelled, lapDuration, lapEnd, lapNumber, lapStart, location, meetingKey, meetingName, meetingOfficialName, message, pitDuration, position. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
