Implementation Reference

  • Core handler function that executes the tool logic: loads F1 session data and retrieves specific driver information using the fastf1 library.
    def get_driver_info(year, event_identifier, session_name, driver_identifier):
        """Get information about a specific driver"""
        try:
            year = int(year)
            session = fastf1.get_session(year, event_identifier, session_name)
            session.load(telemetry=False)  # Load session without telemetry for faster results
            
            driver_info = session.get_driver(driver_identifier)
            
            # Convert to JSON serializable format
            driver_dict = driver_info.to_dict()
            clean_dict = {k: json_serial(v) for k, v in driver_dict.items()}
            
            return {"status": "success", "data": clean_dict}
        except Exception as e:
            return {"status": "error", "message": str(e), "traceback": traceback.format_exc()}
