get_team_name_by_driver

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

Get a full team name based on a driver’s abbreviation or based on a recognizable and identifiable part of a driver’s name.

Alternatively, a shortened version of the team name can be returned. The short version is intended for saving as much space as possible when annotating plots and may skip parts of the official team name.

Parameters:

• identifier (str) – driver abbreviation or recognizable part of the driver 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
