Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/IAmTomShaw/f1-race-replay/issues/63

Description:
The leaderboard during race replay sometimes shows inaccurate driver positions, especially in the first few corners. Drivers who are clearly ahead on track may be displayed behind others temporarily.
GitHub

Steps to Reproduce:

Run the replay for a Grand Prix (e.g., python main.py --year 2025 --round 5).
Watch the first few corners of the race.
Notice the driver ordering on the leaderboard doesn’t match expected track order.

Expected Behavior:
Leaderboard should reflect the real on-track driver positions accurately at all times.

Actual Behavior:
Positions sometimes appear swapped or incorrect before the first lap is complete.

Glad to hear that! If there's any specific part of the logic (perhaps in the telemetry data processing) where I can help with a PR, please let me know.
