get_team_name

fastf1.plotting.get_team_name(identifier, session, *, short=False, exact_match=False)

Get a full or shortened team name based on a recognizable and identifiable part of the team name.

The short version of the team name is intended for saving space when annotating plots and may skip parts of the official team name, for example “Haas F1 Team” becomes just “Haas”.

Parameters:

• identifier (str) – a recognizable part of the team name

• session (Session) – the session for which the data should be obtained

• short (bool) – if True, a shortened version of the team name will be returned

• exact_match (bool) – match the identifier exactly (case-insensitive, special characters are converted to their nearest ASCII equivalent)

Return type:

str
