Hi,
The results for the 2024 Belgian Grand Prix (https://api.openf1.org/v1/session_result?session_key=9574 ) are incorrect in a big way.
session_result (9574) Current.csv
This seems to be due to the goofy way F1 posted the race results by putting Russell (#63) up top despite it being a DQ. https://www.formula1.com/en/results/2024/races/1242/belgium/race-result and the attached FIA document.

Russell's time is put in the "gap_to_leader" field. In "duration," Russell (63) has Hamilton's (#44) time of 4797.566 (+0.526 from Russell's time). Then, Hamilton's (#44) duration number is actually his gap to Russell's time, but the rest of the gaps to Russell's time are in the "gap_to_leader" field. I have no idea where the other numbers for "duration" came from other than I noticed that they are 0.526 higher than gap_to_leader, but if that was an attempt to redo the gap so that it links to Hamilton's time of 4797.566, then it should be -0.526. Also, Russell isn't shown to be given a DQ, so that needs to be switched to "TRUE."
I propose either of these two corrections. One maintains Russell's time and the gap_to_leader is to Russell's time (Gapto63). The other pushes Russell down to the bottom like post-race DQs in China, and recalculates the gap_to_leader to Hamilton (Gapto44).

session_result (9574)-Corrected-Gapto63.csv
I don't have a preference for which one is picked.
