Known Issue

sensor.f1_season_results may trigger a warning in the Home Assistant logs:

Logger: homeassistant.components.recorder.db_schema
Source: components/recorder/db_schema.py:663
Integration: Recorder
State attributes for sensor.f1_season_results exceed maximum size of 16384 bytes. This can cause database performance issues; Attributes will not be stored

Despite the warning, the sensor should still work fine for display in the frontend. However, to avoid any database load/performance issues, it is recommended to exclude this sensor from being recorded in your recorder: config:

recorder:
  exclude:
    entities:
      - sensor.f1_season_results

Experimental Feature

This is a test release. These sensors and their structure may change in future versions or be removed altogether depending on feedback and performance considerations.
