[BUG] Incorrect name of the China session 2 #570

Closed formulatimer closed 2 months ago

formulatimer commented 2 months ago

Describe the issue:

China is the first sprint on 2024 calendar

The calendar that fastf1 uses to dowload the information shows: Session1 Practice 1 Session2 Sprint Shootout Session3 Sprint Session4 Qualifying Session5 Race

wheareas on the official webpage the sessions are: Session1 Practice 1 Session2 Sprint Qualifying Session3 Sprint Session4 Qualifying Session5 Race

The name os the session 2 is different, which may cause some errors when downloading the data

Reproduce the code example:

N

Error message:

No response

Ohh thanks for reporting. I already made sure that the changed session order works correctly. Looks like I missed that they renamed the Sprint Shootout to Sprint Qualifying.

This needs to be fixed/checked in various places including the schedule data backend. I'll see that I get it done before the weekend.

theOehrly commented 2 months ago

This should be fixed now.

I noticed some minor inconsistencies already in F1's APIs regarding this name change. Let's hope there won't be any more inconsistencies once data becomes available on the weekend. Else, there might still be errors related to this.
