F1 App

Formula 1 app that allows the user to order tickets for grand prix and view F1 related statistics. Created for the Web Technology project for Semester 3.

Project info and notes

• The F1 api documentation can be found here

• The api doesn't contain a lot of qualifying information so there are instances where the information on a drivers profile are incorrect.
  Example:

Ayrton Senna had 65 pole positions in f1 but this data is unavailable.

• The World Tour element fetches a list of countries and its data to draw them, but the names of the countries in the api are not the same in the data of the countries so some might be missing in the tour.

• The api does not contain the colors of the drivers so I used a random color generator to differentiate the drivers in the yearly charts. This color generator can be found here
