Ergast API vs Official API

This is a comparison between the two results sources.

'Official' means Formula 1.

You can choose which API is used by the app. Both have pros and cons, so you should choose it according to your needs. This change impacts the following:

• Session results (Pre-Season Practices, Free Practices, Sprint (Qualifying), Qualifying, Race)
• Schedule
• Standings

Major differences:

	Ergast	Official
Main Difference	Discontinued at the end of 2024, but alternatives are being created	Faster but may break at any moment, less detailed
Standings	Slow update, win count for teams	Fast update after a GP
Schedule	Image of weekend with name and year, circuit name for each GP	Basic image of weekend, city for each GP, pre-season tests
Sprint & Race Results	Lap count, fastest lap, DNF reason	Fastest lap only available for the races
