Announcing OpenF1 1.0 🎉

[br-g]

I'm excited to introduce OpenF1 1.0, a complete rewrite of the OpenF1 API!
This new version comes with a different architecture and maintains the same features as the previous version.

What's New?

The primary focus of this release is on:

• Efficiency: The new version is much faster, requiring less computation and fewer database reads/writes.
• Simplicity: The code is more straightforward, easier to understand, and simpler to run locally.

What's Next?

With this release, we’re laying the foundation for:

• New Features: This update will enable us to develop long-requested features like race and championship standings, schedules, starting grids, and more.
• Open-Source Collaboration: The simplified architecture makes it much easier to collaborate and contribute to OpenF1's development.

Thank you for your continued support! 🙌
