New Features

• Added additional circuit information that includes the location of corners,
  marshal lights, marshal sectors and the rotation of the track map. This
  data is available through fastf1.core.Session.get_circuit_info. Also
  check out the new examples that show how to annotate your plots using this
  data.
  A huge thank you to @multiviewer (https://multiviewer.app/) for providing
  this information through MultiViewer's API.

  fastf1.core.Session.session_info

  specific laps from fastf1.core.Laps (by @Casper-Guo) (#376).

  New (no equivalent has existed before)

  • fastf1.core.Laps.pick_not_deleted for selecting all laps that

    multiple compounds; replaces fastf1.core.Laps.pick_tyre

  Improved

    the how argument to exclude laps with a specific track status or match
    or exclude laps with one of multiple track status values.
