Use f1verse.sources.liveclient.LiveFeed. It speaks the official SignalR feed over a WebSocket implemented in the standard library — no websocket package, no SignalR client, no browser.
from f1verse.sources import liveclient
with liveclient.LiveFeed() as feed:
for topic, patch, stamp in feed.messages():
...
liveclient.run("session-{n}.jsonl") # record, rotate, reconnectConnecting takes three undocumented courtesies: the load balancer issues its affinity cookie only to a pre-flight request and rejects sockets arriving without it, the service expects the official application's user agent, and a subscription sent without an invocation id is accepted silently and never answered. All three are handled here so no caller has to rediscover them.
Recordings carry a millisecond arrival stamp per frame, which is the difference between an archive and a screenshot — replay() can then run a session at true speed. Recordings are local working data; nothing is redistributed.
The raw stream is not a lap table. f1verse.sources.timing.laps_from_stream() rebuilds honest laps from it, because arrival order lies: sector times land after the next lap has begun, and qualifying carries phantom lap times that are really the gap between two runs.
