Flag & Clock data

Sources and licences

Sources and licences

Every table under /data/ names its source, its licence and the date it covers, at the foot of the page and in its JSON. This page puts them in one place.

Where each table comes from

Tables Source Licence of the Flag & Clock table
Formula 1 standings, results and calendar Jolpica-F1 API, the community successor to the Ergast API, with single facts corrected from the FIA stewards' documents CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, inherited from the source
Formula 1 race-weekend hubs Jolpica-F1 API for the schedule and results; Wikipedia's article on each circuit for its length, corners and opening date CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 for the Jolpica parts; the circuit facts are credited separately on the page
World Rally Championship, World Endurance Championship and MotoGP standings, results and calendars Wikipedia's 2026 season article for each championship CC BY-SA 4.0, inherited from the source; each file names the article revision it was built from
Driver moves Flag & Clock's own compilation; each move confirmed against the team, the series or the publication named CC BY 4.0 under the Flag & Clock data notice

Reusing a table

  • Credit the source and Flag & Clock, link the licence, and say whether you changed anything. Each table's JSON carries the exact credit line in licence.attribution and, where the licence asks for one, a change note in licence.changes. The page footer prints both.
  • The Formula 1 tables are for non-commercial use, because their source is. The CC BY 4.0 notice for Flag & Clock's own data does not cover them, and each Formula 1 page and file says so.
  • A finishing position is a fact and belongs to no one, but a database can be protected. Each table here is Flag & Clock's own build from a source's answers, not a copy of the source.

When an official document differs

Where an FIA stewards' classification or points document differs from the feed, the Formula 1 tables use the FIA figure, list the difference, and mark the round provisional until the feed agrees. Facts are taken one at a time, credited by document number. The documents themselves are not republished.

Figures Flag & Clock works out

Gaps to the leader, win counts and the title arithmetic are calculated by Flag & Clock from the tables above, using each series' published points rules. The title arithmetic covers the points still available, who can still win and the earliest round a title can be settled. These figures carry the licence of the table they sit in.

In the files

  • fetchedAt: when the table last changed.
  • dataAsOf: the last round, or the date, the table includes.
  • source.revision: on tables built from Wikipedia, the article revision read.
  • provisional: true while a round's figures differ from the official documents, or the documents could not be read.
