Missing data for Canadian Sprint Race positions

[gnimmo86]

Hi,

I'm requesting positions for sprint race in Canada, but some drivers are missing:

https://api.openf1.org/v1/position?driver_number=3&session_key=11286

Driver number 3 is Verstappen.
I don't know if the ONLY missing is him, I'm stopping at first error.

Can you please verify? I saw another issue on the same session_key, maybe it's related.

Thanks

Hello @gnimmo86,

Thanks for reporting this!

This is a known, recurring issue. Sometimes, the initial starting position is not recorded. If a driver does not switch positions at any point during the sprint race (like Verstappen during the sprint race), no position changes are logged, resulting in zero entries for them.

I have manually edited the data and pushed a fix for this that will be tested during the next GP. Thanks for your patience and for helping improve the project!
