 * Added (very soft) deprecation warning to Ergast functions in advance of the Ergast API being defunct in less than 12 months.
 * Deprecated support for FastF1 v < 3.1.0. Older FastF1 versions do not support all of the functions in use and may return different values from some data retrieval or calculation functions. Forcing use of up-to-date FastF1 allows for simpler bugfixes and code updates. (#198)

 ## Resubmission
-This is a major version update.
+This is a bugfix requested by CRAN after some failures of automated testing due to internet resource unavailability. 
 
-This update includes deprecation of support for older versions of the Python package wrapped in our code. This is done as the new Python version is required for increasing numbers of the functions in use.
+The package has been updated to fail gracefully if the web resource is unavailable (previous action was a warning or error, case dependent). Further, flexibility on incomplete responses from the web API have been drastically improved.
+
+This version update was requested by 17 March, should there be any issues with this submission please extend this deadline.
