What F1 Info does
F1 Info is a Formula 1 bot for Telegram and Discord made by Ramses Houps, who documents every feature and the date it was added on f1info.eu. Its most useful job is the reminder: turn on session alerts and the bot writes to you an hour before and five minutes before each practice, qualifying and race, so you do not have to work out start times across time zones.
Everything else is on request. The schedule shows the next Grand Prix with all its sessions, or the calendar for the current or a past season, in your own time zone. Standings cover drivers and constructors for this and earlier seasons, and results show the last race or qualifying. There are cards for each driver, team and circuit, the weather forecast for the upcoming race, and optional news notifications from Motorsport.com and Autosport. A menu keeps the commands in one place.
The Telegram bot is free; the paid Plus plan and extras such as Formula 2 and Formula 3 data apply to Discord servers. The site counts about 4,300 Telegram chats, including some 270 groups. It is an independent fan project, not an official Formula 1 product, and the feature list has not grown since 2023.
