[BUG] Driver CountryCode is not populated in the SessionResults object

[harningle]

Can reproduce in version 3.1.6. Seems we forgot to include CountryCode when fixing #460:

Fast-F1/fastf1/_api.py

Lines 1493 to 1496 in 89033fd

	default_keys = [
	'RacingNumber', 'BroadcastName', 'FullName', 'Tla', 'Line', 'TeamName',
	'TeamColour', 'FirstName', 'LastName', 'Reference', 'HeadshotUrl'
	]

@theOehrly fastf1/_api.py in master branch doesn't fix #460. Shall I wrap up both #460 and this and create a PR to master?

A quick fix would be go to _api.py, and add , 'CountryCode' to line 1495. You can find your _api.py by running pip show fastf1 in terminal:

Name: fastf1
Version: 3.1.6
Summary: Wrapper library for F1 data and telemetry API with additional data processing capabilities.

Open c:/program files/python310/lib/site-packages/fastf1/_api.py and change line 1495 to:

    default_keys = [
        'RacingNumber', 'BroadcastName', 'FullName', 'Tla', 'Line', 'TeamName',
        'TeamColour', 'FirstName', 'LastName', 'Reference', 'HeadshotUrl', 'CountryCode'
    ]

@harningle Thanks for looking into this. If you want to create a PR to fix this, the best way would be to check out the maintenance-v3.1 branch, commit the fix and submit the PR from there. Then, change the base branch of the PR from master to maintenance-v3.1 in Github.

maintenance-v3.1 will be merged into master again at some point. That wasn't very clean branch management from my side. I really should only fix issues on the master branch and backport to the maintenance branch. I need to be more consistent here in the future (meaning from v3.2 onwards).
