Attributions & licences
Nothing on this site is APEX's own work except the code. This page says where each piece came from and on what terms — including the parts that are not freely licensed, because leaving those out would be the dishonest half.
Data
| Source | Used for | Terms |
|---|---|---|
| FastF1 | Telemetry, laps, stints, pit stops, classifications | MIT (library). The timing data it retrieves belongs to Formula 1. |
| OpenF1 | Near-live timing and per-session weather | Free public API, used under its own terms |
| Jolpica (Ergast successor) | Schedule, results, standings, history to 1950 | Non-commercial use, with attribution |
| Wikipedia | Constructor heritage prose on Teams | CC BY-SA 4.0 |
| OpenTopoData | Circuit elevation for the 3D track models | Open dataset, free public endpoint |
Team logos
Eight of the eleven constructors are shown with their real logo. Each was checked against its actual file licence on Wikimedia Commons rather than a search summary, and only files tagged PD-textlogo, CC0 or CC BY 4.0 were used: Mercedes, Williams, Haas, Audi, Cadillac, Aston Martin, McLaren and Alpine.
Ferrari, Red Bull and Racing Bulls are deliberately shown without a logo. All three use pictorial emblems that sit above the originality threshold PD-textlogo requires, and Racing Bulls' is a non-free fair-use file on Wikipedia itself — explicitly not reusable here. They render as a colour-and-monogram treatment instead. That is a licensing decision, not a missing asset.
The Aston Martin logo is CC BY 4.0, which requires attribution: it is credited on the Teams page as the licence asks.
Car renders
The car images are Formula 1's own press assets, all rights reserved. They are not freely licensed and are not offered here for reuse. They are used on a fan site that makes no claim to them and earns nothing from them; if their owner objects, they will be removed — open an issue.
They are listed apart from the logos on purpose. The logos are Wikimedia CC0/CC-BY material, which is exactly why three teams have none rather than one sourced from somewhere more convenient, and blurring the two categories together would hide that distinction.
Driver images, circuit imagery and flags
Driver portraits and circuit imagery are used editorially to illustrate reporting about the people and places concerned; rights remain with their respective owners. Country flags are public-domain national symbols. As above, anything here will be removed on request from its owner.

Software
APEX is built on open source: Next.js and React, Tailwind CSS, Motion, Three.js, Recharts, FastAPI, Pydantic, Motor and PyMongo, LangGraph and LangChain, pandas and NumPy, and many more. Each is used under its own licence — overwhelmingly MIT or Apache 2.0. The complete, exact list with versions is in the repository's package.json and requirements files, which are the authoritative record — a hand-copied list on this page would go stale the first time a dependency changed.
APEX itself
The source code is public on GitHub. The site is unofficial and unaffiliated — see the disclaimer — and the data it displays is not APEX's to license onward. If you want this data, go to the providers listed on data sources directly rather than scraping this site.
