Went through the API output and updated the official colors accordingly.

Only Ferrari's color changed slightly, updated the Fastf1 scheme to match as well.

No changes compared to the 2024 colors otherwise. RB's color perhaps need revisiting as the current bluish hue is not very representative of their livery.

Closes #689

Regarding the RB color, do you have a suggestion? White seems obvious but we can't use that as it would be completely invisible on Matplotlibs default white background.

White is out. The red is too close to Ferrari. So the most viable alternative is probably the yellow #e80020 but there is no strong association with the team either.

@pesaventofilippo Thoughts on the two options?

I've found something that I think works quite well: all colors are the official ones, except for VCARB and Alpine, where I've picked the same yellow and pink colors from fastf1.plotting for last year. They're both "secondary" colors in this year's cars, although I don't know if Alpine will remove the pink at some point like last year

What do you think? (I don't have the hex colors right now, but I can send them when I get home)

Yea I think that's good. We can go for yellow for VCARB then.

I'm getting an error when trying to plot suggesting that the key in the rb entry of the season2025 teams dictionary needs to be changed to 'racing bulls', instead of 'rb'.
