A personal F1 data dashboard for race weekends, historical deep-dives, and useless-but-fun statistics. Fast, readable, and built for people who want to glance at standings without opening ten tabs.
What it does
Race weekend hub with current season calendar, live standings, recent results. Historical browser back to 1950 with full race results, quali data, and championship standings. Driver and constructor profiles with career stats, teammate comparisons, and family connections. Circuit encyclopedia with track layouts and lap records. Deep stats like cross-era rankings, race chaos index, and reliability timelines.
Basically: if it’s F1 data and I found it interesting enough to graph, it’s probably in here.
Tech stack
Client: React 18 + TypeScript + Vite 6, TanStack Query for caching, custom UI components
Server: Hono + @hono/node-server, SQLite with intelligent caching (historical data fetched once, current season refreshed)
Data: Jolpica/Ergast (race results), OpenF1 (live session data), Wikipedia (circuit info), f1db (driver bios, family trees)
