🏎️ F1 Speed Map Visualizer

A Python project that generates Formula 1 Speed Maps using the FastF1 library.
Each map displays a driver’s fastest lap around a circuit, with color representing speed along the track.

🚀 Features

• Load official Formula 1 telemetry data using FastF1
• Visualize a driver’s fastest lap speed trace on the circuit
• Automatic color scaling based on minimum and maximum speeds
• Customizable color map, race, and driver selection
• Clean Matplotlib output

🧠 How It Works

1. The script fetches telemetry data from the specified F1 weekend and driver.
2. It extracts the fastest lap and plots the X/Y coordinates of the lap.
3. Speed data is mapped to a color gradient along the circuit path.
