What changed

This database is rebuilt from its sources every morning, and published again when something has actually changed. This page is what it holds now and what moved before it.

F1DB, the source the harvest is rebuilt from, is checked every morning; “checked” is the last morning that check finished. “Built” moves only when something had genuinely changed, so a later check date than build date means the data has not moved. A check date that is itself several days old means the refresh itself is failing.

Counted from the database this page was built from, not stored anywhere: every figure here is its own answer to the question.

The harvest is refreshed daily at 06:00 UTC, and every three hours across a race weekend, and rebuilt only if F1DB has published something new, so an entry appears when the data has genuinely moved and not otherwise. Atom feed.

Each release carries the version stamped into the database’s own meta table. That places a released file in this list, but it does not identify one: the copy this site serves is rebuilt on every deploy and moves ahead of the tag it still names. The digest on the data page is what tells two files with the same version and build date apart.
