Formula 1 API - Live Race Data Points

We've added two live race data points to the Stage Summary endpoint.

Use these fields to get real-time insights on the position of drivers in a race, with timing on each driver's gap to the leader and their interval to the closest driver. Each attribute is available for Practice, Sprint Qualifying Sub stages (SQ1/2/3), Qualification Sub stages (Q1/2/3), Sprint, and Race stages.

gap_to_leader - The time difference between a driver and the race leader (ex. +4.464 or 12L)
interval_to_position_ahead - The time difference between a driver and the driver one position ahead (ex. +0.186)
