[ENH] Get previous session informations directly from livetiming API
Proposed new feature or change:
It is possible to get all the session info from the following links.
https://livetiming.formula1.com/static/2018/Index.json https://livetiming.formula1.com/static/2019/Index.json https://livetiming.formula1.com/static/2020/Index.json https://livetiming.formula1.com/static/2021/Index.json https://livetiming.formula1.com/static/2022/Index.json
This can be used to dynamically fetch data instead of using https://github.com/theOehrly/f1schedule for most session (i.e. non testing). This doesn't include testing session information, so you will still need to maintain a copy of them still.
Thank you for making me aware of these. Someone else recently also opened an issue for this (#248). I'll aim to implement these for next season.
Now implemented as fallback from default and manually selectable data backend for the event schedule.
