F1 Race Data Fetcher (OpenF1)
Usage: python fetch_data.py [year] [grand_prix] [session]
Example: python fetch_data.py 2024 Bahrain R
python fetch_data.py 2023 Monaco Q
Data comes from the OpenF1 REST API (https://openf1.org), which covers the
2023 season onwards. FastF1 is no longer usable: F1's live-timing archive
(livetiming.formula1.com/static) now answers every request with
401 Unauthorized, so FastF1 loads sessions with no laps or telemetry.
