Release v2.2.9

• Fix a typo in :attr:fastf1.plotting.DRIVER_TRANSLATE (#207)

Release v2.2.8

• Ensure that Session.drivers returns a list of
  unique values. This prevents problems that result from drivers being
  incorrectly listed multiple times in the session result information.
  (see #182 for example)

Release v2.2.7

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed an issue that prevented merging of car data and position data
  in some cases (see #180)

Release v2.2.6

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed incorrect lap start times for first lap after a red flag restart

• Fixed first lap missing if a driver crashed during the first lap of a
  sprint race (#175)

• Fixed headshot url missing from result of :func:fastf1.api.driver_info
  (by @bruzie in #173)

New Features:

• Added a check detect and to remove incorrect lap times in the api parser
  (#167)

Release v2.2.5

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed grid position, position and points missing from Sprint sessions
  result in 2022 (#166)

New Features:

• Added :func:fastf1.plotting.driver_color to get driver colors which are
  similar to the team color but slightly different between both drivers of
  one team. This way, the drivers can be differentiated better.
  (by @dialtone in #159)

• Added support for loading race control messages, see
  :attr:fastf1.core.Session.race_control_messages
  (by @bruzie in #163)

Release v2.2.4

Compatibility fixes for supporting 'Sprint' sessions for the 2022 season (see also #160)

Release v2.2.3

Bug Fixes

• Fixed crash in fastf1.Telemetry.calculate_driver_ahead in case of missing car data (#146)

Release v2.2.2

Changes:

• Implement support for reading information about a drivers personal best
  lap from the fastf1.core.Laps.pick_fastest will now by
  default return the quickest lap that is also marked as personal best lap
  of any driver. This fixes the long standing problem that the fastest lap
  returned by this function may actually be a deleted lap.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed: data for the 2022 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix can not be loaded (#135)
• Fixed: incorrect python version check in live timing client, that
  prevented running on actually supported versions of python (#132)

Release v2.2.1

Changes:

• Log ergast error tracebacks on level DEBUG instead of WARNING to avoid
  confusion when a failure was to be expected.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed: no session results for Verstappen (driver number 1 vs 33)
  (by @vlesierse)
• Fixed: slicing telemetry by using multiple laps as a reference returns no
  data if some laps have NaT values for 'Time' or 'LapStartTime'
• Fixed regression: Loading of livetiming no longer possible since v2.2.0 if
  recording does not contain a driver list
