Las Vegas Grand Prix Wrong Date, Ergast API deprecated
I just realized the dates of Las Vegas weekend are wrong.
Is this only me or also shows wrong date for you ?
By the way, Ergast API is deprecated and I think we should consider moving over to Jolpica which provides Ergast compatible API

I just changed f1Url to
var f1Url = "https://api.jolpi.ca/ergast/f1/" + season;
Started showing the correct date for Las Vegas.
We will look into Jolpica after this season.
Happy to see that doesn't break the code
Ergast is down during almost the whole day now. Currently testing jolpi to see if its ok. Any feedback on using jolpi is welcome.
For me it seems to work very good.
If ergast stays down I will patch in this week
I do see the points are still up until round 22. las vegas. Qatar is not yet in the standings?

Check out Jolpica's repo.
Also there's a section for differences with Ergast API
today I made some provisional changes for the next season in branch "devjan2025"
- switched to new jolpi.ca api
- checked the 2025 schedule for new races (none) so now new track layout necessary
- prepared some code for a breaking change around sprint qualifying definition
The schedule data for 2025 is not yet available. So, hard to test if other breaking changes occur
As you said, we should revisit it once the full 2025 schedule is out to address any potential issues. But for now, it looks like a good start.
