Formula 1 Results, Laps and Standings Scraper

This Formula 1 scraper returns race results, qualifying, sprint results, championship standings, pit stops, race calendars, drivers, constructors and circuits as clean rows. Results and standings go back to the first season in 1950. From 2023 you also get every lap of a session with sector times, speed trap readings, tyre compound and tyre age, plus the race control feed with flags, safety cars and steward messages.

Each result row already includes the numbers people calculate by hand: positions gained from the grid, a finished flag, win and podium flags, the fastest lap rank and time, and the driver and team details in the same row. You do not have to join five tables to answer a simple question.

Fantasy players, betting analysts, journalists, YouTubers, data scientists and fans use it to build charts, models and race reports.

How much does it cost to scrape Formula 1 data?

You pay per result: $16 per 1,000 rows plus a tiny start fee. The free plan returns up to 10 rows per run. A full season of race results is about 480 rows, and the laps of one race are roughly 1,100 rows.

Coverage by season

• Results, standings, drivers, constructors and circuits: 1950 to today
• Qualifying: from the 1990s, with the older seasons partly missing
• Lap times and positions: 1996 to 2022
• Pit stops: 2011 to today
• Sector times, speed traps, tyres and race control: 2023 to today

Tips for better results

• Filter by driver code, for example HAM, or by team, for example ferrari, to keep a dataset small.
• Use the rounds field to limit laps and pit stops to one race. Laps for a whole season are large.
• The driver number in a results row is the permanent number. The car number can differ, for example for the reigning champion.
• Set the session to Qualifying or Sprint to get laps and messages from those sessions from 2023.
• The Actor spaces out its requests to respect the data sources, so a full season of laps takes a few minutes.

Who uses Formula 1 data?

• Fantasy and betting players study form, qualifying pace and tyre strategy.
• Journalists and YouTubers back stories with numbers.
• Data scientists build lap-time and strategy models.
• Fans compare drivers across eras.

Automate and connect

Schedule the Actor for Monday after each race weekend to pull the new results and standings. Send finished datasets to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make or n8n, or trigger a webhook when a run ends.

FAQ

Do I need a Formula 1 account? No. The Actor works without any login.

Where does the data come from? Historical results come from the community-run Jolpica F1 project, the successor of the Ergast database. Laps, tyres and race control come from the open OpenF1 project.

Does it include live timing? No. Data is available after sessions finish.

Why are qualifying times missing for old seasons? Complete qualifying records do not exist for the early decades of the championship.

Can I get telemetry such as speed and throttle? Not in this version. You get sector times, speed traps and tyre data per lap.
