About APEX
A Formula 1 hub that tries to be honest about what it knows. Schedule, standings, drivers, teams, circuits, session results, telemetry replays, history back to 1950, and an assistant that shows its sources.
What it is
APEX pulls Formula 1 data from several public sources, stores it, and presents it in one place. Nothing here is exclusive — the underlying numbers are all public. What the site adds is putting them together, making them navigable, and being explicit about where each one came from and how old it is.
Why it exists
Two reasons. The first is ordinary: following a season means holding a lot of context — who is where in the standings, what happened at this circuit last year, whether a driver's pace is real or a fuel load — and most of that lives across a dozen tabs. This is an attempt at one tab.
The second is that most AI features bolted onto data sites are untrustworthy in a specific, fixable way: they mix retrieved facts and generated prose into one confident paragraph and give you no way to tell them apart. The assistant here was built to make that distinction visible — values that came from a record are underlined and open the record that proves them, and a deterministic check runs over every draft before you see it. It still gets things wrong. It just does not hide which parts you should check.
What makes it different
- Cited answers. Every retrieved value in an assistant answer links to the record it came from. How that works.
- Stated provenance. Every source and its freshness is written down on one page, including the parts that lag.
- Real session data. Per-session weather, tyre stints, pit stops, lap-position charts and telemetry replays, not just a results table.
- History that goes back. Constructor lineages and season records to 1950, including teams that no longer exist.
Who built it
APEX is built and maintained by one developer, as a personal project. There is no company, no team and no funding behind it — it runs entirely on free service tiers, which is also why it is sometimes slow and occasionally rate-limited.
It is open source. The full source is on GitHub, including the parts that are not finished.
Contact
Everything goes through GitHub. There is no support email — a personal address on a public page collects spam faster than it collects useful messages, and an issue thread is easier to actually resolve.
- Found a bug, or wrong data? Open an issue. Wrong numbers are the most useful reports — say which page, which session, and what you expected.
- Question or idea? Start a discussion.
- Assistant gave a bad answer? Use the thumbs-down on the answer itself — it attaches the exact run, which an issue cannot.
Note that GitHub issues and discussions are public. Do not post anything you would not want read by anyone.
The obligatory caveat
APEX is unofficial and unaffiliated. It is not Formula 1, it does not speak for Formula 1, and for anything that matters you should use the official sources. The disclaimer says this properly.
