Fastf1

Bug Fixes

- Fixed incorrect number of total laps (``Session.total_laps``) for the
2025 Grand Prix of Australia.

- Fixed incorrectly added 58th lap for Norris in the 2025 Grand Prix of
Australia.

Bug Fixes

- Use yellow instead of red as team color for Racing Bulls in the 2025 season
to better distinguish the color from others. (by pesaventofilippo) (707)

- Switch to a linear interpolation that considers sample timestamps correctly
when merging/resampling telemetry data.

New Features

- `fastf1.plotting.get_driver_style` now replaces the magic ``'auto'``
color keyword recursively. This allows for more complex plotting styles, for
example when using the Plotly library. (by Casper-Guo) (701)


Bug Fixes

- Missing drivers are now only added to session results based on data from
Jolpica-F1 (formerly Ergast), when the session type is fully supported by
the API. This fixes cases where drivers were incorrectly added in practice
sessions, for example. (by Casper-Guo) (699)

New Features

- The backend for the Ergast API is now changed to its successor Jolpica-F1
(see https://github.com/jolpica/jolpica-f1 ) to ensure continued support for
the 2025 season and later seasons.

- Added team colors for the 2025 season. (by Casper-Guo) (690)


Bug Fixes

- Incorrect and inconsistent data types in various places have been fixed. The
dtypes of all DataFrames after data loading now always match the dtypes that
are defined in the documentation. Some dtypes may have changed as a result
of this fix.

- Fixed lap time alignment failures in some edge cases.


Backwards Incompatible Changes

- ``Laps.pick_fastest()`` will now return ``None`` if no fastest lap exists, as
announced previously.
Previously, an empty ``Lap`` object was returned.


Maintenance

- Addressed upcoming changes in pandas and fixed a related deprecation warning
caused by implicit type coercion. (by Casper-Guo) (676, 682)

- Temporarily pinned ``websockets`` to version 14 or older to prevent issues
with live timing recording.

Bug Fixes

- Add workaround to support 2025 pre-season testing sessions

Bug Fixes

- Use a custom user agent when requesting event schedule data from Github to
prevent the request from being blocked in some environments. (see 656)
