v2.0.1

Integration of a newer version of Ax6’s old repository

This integrates a more recent version of the old repository. See Issue #1

• Possibly breaking changes - fastf1.plotting: access to team colors changed

  use new function fastf1.plotting.team_color()

  • fastf1.core.Laps: pick_driver_number() and pick_driver_numbers() have been removed.

    fastf1.core.Laps.pick_driver() and fastf1.core.Laps.pick_drivers() do now accept driver numbers a drivers’ three letter identifiers. Number and letter identifiers can be mixed in a single function call.

• Changes:

  • An error that previously resulted in the loading of laps failing completely is now handled slightly better. Data loading will now only fail for a driver which is actually concerned by this error and not for all drivers.

    See: https://github.com/theOehrly/Fast-F1/issues/1#issuecomment-670712178 This still needs to be fixed properly at some point.

  • Fix crash if cache dir does not exist

  • Some under the hood cleanups and improvements

  • Somewhat improved documentation

• New:

  • fastf1.utils.delta_time() for comparing lost/gained time between two drivers

  • manual patch file for Bottas in testing
