Hi @IAmTomShaw

I've been exploring the f1-race-replay project and I’d love to contribute a new feature: Comparative Telemetry Overlays.

The Goal: Allow users to select two laps (e.g., Driver A vs Driver B or Lap 1 vs Lap 50) and generate a multi-panel chart comparing their Speed, Throttle, and Brake traces indexed by distance.

Proposed Changes:

Add a compare module to handle distance-based interpolation between two telemetry sets.
Create a Matplotlib template that stacks Speed, Throttle, and Delta-Time.
Update the CLI to accept a second driver/lap argument for comparison mode.
I believe this would add significant analytical value to the replay tool. Are you open to a PR for this?
