# Drivers and teams

This section covers how to retrieve driver and team data, enrich it with season-specific details, and use it to build driver profiles, constructor pages, and team rosters.

### In this section

* **Drivers** - How to list all drivers, retrieve a driver by ID, enrich with country and team data, and access driver metadata (debut season, short name, etc.).
* **Teams** - How to retrieve constructor teams, access season-specific team details (chassis, engine, team colour), and get the full driver roster for a team.

### Drivers and teams in session context

Driver and team data appears in two contexts in the API: standalone (via the Drivers and Teams endpoints) and in-session (via the `lineups` include on a fixture).

For building a driver profile page, use the Drivers endpoint directly:

```http
https://api.sportmonks.com/v3/motorsport/drivers/DRIVER_ID
?api_token=YOUR_TOKEN
&include=metadata
```

For displaying the driver lineup during or after a session, use the `lineups` include on the fixture and enrich it with driver data:

```http
https://api.sportmonks.com/v3/motorsport/fixtures/FIXTURE_ID
?api_token=YOUR_TOKEN
&include=lineups.driver
```

Season-specific team details (chassis name, engine, team colour) are available via the `seasonDetails` include on a team. These change year to year and are separate from the base team entity.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sportmonks.com/v3/motorsport-api/tutorials-and-guides/tutorials/drivers-and-teams.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
