A REST API that provides current Formula 1 championship standings for both drivers and constructors. The API attempts to fetch real-time data from live F1 sources and falls back to current 2024 season data when live APIs are unavailable.

• Real-time data attempts: Tries to fetch live F1 data from multiple sources
• Reliable fallback: Uses current 2024 F1 season data when live APIs are unavailable
• Multiple endpoints: Separate endpoints for drivers, constructors, or both
• Clean JSON responses: Well-structured data with metadata
• CORS enabled: Works with web applications
• Health check: Monitor API status

Returns both driver and constructor standings in a single response.
