I've found that the SpeedST variable is pretty invaluable for assessing top speed, but one issue I've found is that on quite a lot of tracks (the first three this year, for example), the actual speed trap is on a DRS straight. This means that you'll have a dichotomy of results between drivers who had DRS on that lap and those who didn't, but no automatic way of differentiating between them.
Would it be possible to couple the SpeedST variable with a SpeedSTDRS boolean for whether DRS was achieved down that straight or not? There's a DRS variable after .get_telemetry(), but I think it'd also be very beneficial to have that variable in the session.laps level of data. After all, whether a driver opens DRS for an entire straight is going to be a binary option which does not (or at least should not) vary at different points on that straight.
To extend that, for each lap there could be a DRS1, DRS2, and DRS3 variable which again is a Bool for whether DRS is achieved on that specific DRS straight. A valueless column would simply meant that that circuit doesn't have a, for example, third DRS straight.
