Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not the most useful feature but how about some (unneeded) stats. I sometimes look at www.statsf1.com and this is fine for some (more) scraping.
For example I like these stats to begin with:
https://www.statsf1.com/en/statistiques/pilote/victoire/grille.aspx
https://www.statsf1.com/en/statistiques/pilote/meilleurtour/nombre.aspx
How it looks I have no clue yet and how to extend and what stats to use. I am curious about what you opinion is about such a feature.

That could be a nice idea, depending on how it is added. It was already requested in #10 but I wasn't focused on that topic.
Now I think it is the right time to add it.
However, the biggest issue that I see is that the website isn't too big and I don't want to force them to pay more bandwidth (there isn't even ads).
That said, I've thinked about three places for the stats:
I'm not sure whether adding a full section about stats which would only reproduce statsf1's website would be a good way to go.
Also, I've searched a bit and it seems that there is a lot of F1 stats websites, so the requests could be separated between the websites...

Yes fair point. I might combine it. I see that ergast has some useful stats, I'll see if I can make a small stats tab as poc.
I already used the caching manager, and was planning todo caching per url for about a week, the info hardly changes, so a week seems to be enough.

For some f1 statistics-related websites, see: https://rothnic.github.io/formulapy/data_readme.html#data-sources
(Chicane F1 is very complete for drivers)
That's a good point. Also, I could make a proxy (like the boxbox server) if needed, so the cache would be centralized and would reduce (massively) the number of requests.

I'll take a look at it. I'll make a small POC on the driver page.
Yes that would be nice if you can do this.
