OpenF1

Sports & FitnessFR

api.openf1.org

Unofficial but well-maintained Formula 1 data API covering the 2023 season onward: sessions and meetings, drivers, lap times and sectors, live and historical positions, gaps and intervals, stints and pit stops, race-control messages, weather, overtakes and team radio, all keyed by session_key and driver_number.

Runs on your machine under the source's own terms

The crw MCP on your computer calls OpenF1 directly. Calls cost no credits and the data does not pass through fastCRW. Install it once for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Gemini CLI or OpenCode, with your fastCRW API key in place of the placeholder:
