📄 Description

Summary

Adds dynamic fastest lap tracking during race replay — the driver holding the fastest lap is highlighted with a purple background on the leaderboard, matching the official F1 broadcast style
The fastest lap holder updates in real-time as faster laps are set throughout the race
Computes lap completion times from FastF1 session data and walks through frames chronologically so the highlight appears at the correct moment

Changes

src/f1_data.py — New _compute_fastest_lap_holders() function that embeds fastest_lap data (driver, formatted time, lap number) into each frame
src/interfaces/race_replay.py — Passes fastest lap info from frame data to the window for leaderboard access
src/ui_components.py — Renders purple highlight (background + text) for the fastest lap holder in LeaderboardComponent

Test plan

Tested with 2025 Bahrain GP (Round 4) — fastest lap holder highlighted correctly
Verify with races that have late fastest laps (e.g., drivers pitting for softs on final lap)
Verify with sprint races
Confirm cached data works after first --refresh-data run
