Load Telemetry Data for a Driver — load_driver

Receives season, race number, driver code, and an optional fastest lap only argument to output car telemetry for the selected situation. Example usage of this code can be seen in the Introduction vignette (run vignette('introduction', 'f1dataR') to read). Multiple drivers' telemetry can be appended to one data frame by the user.

If you have trouble with errors mentioning 'fastf1' or 'get_fastf1_version()' read the "Setup FastF1 Connection" vignette (run vignette('setup_fastf1', 'f1dataR')).

load_driver_telemetry(
  season = get_current_season(),
  round = 1,
  session = "R",
  driver,
  laps = "fastest",
  log_level = "WARNING",
  race = lifecycle::deprecated(),
  fastest_only = lifecycle::deprecated()
)
