Add FP3_results() function #44

Since it gives a good idea of how the race might go down. Can you assign me to work on this issue? Do add the hacktoberfest or hacktoberfest-accepted label to it.

Does the Ergast API provide practice data? How will you be acquiring the results?

Antibodyy commented 1 year ago

Hmm. It doesn't , but SportsRadar's Formula 1 API seems to provide that information.

alec-kr commented 1 year ago

I didn't want to use Sportradar since it required authentication. Do you think it would be worth it to switch to another API?

Antibodyy commented 1 year ago

Actually, I wouldn't recommend it. I think Ergast might add FP results sometime in the future and its not really worth switching since most other F1 related APIs I saw require a paid subscription. Better to wait till then.

alec-kr commented 1 year ago

Hmm okay. I hope they'll add it soon enough.

Feel free to suggest any other enhancements/changes you think we can make to the project. Your input would be very much appreciated :)
