The
blue flag indicates "a competitor is about to overtake you", but if
the flag is waved, it orders him to let the other car overtake, on pain of a
time penalty for obstruction. This order is only given to a car which is one
or more laps behind the overtaker. The blue flag is
also used at the end of pit lane to inform the driver exiting the pits that
they are approaching cars on the circuit. |
|
|
The
yellow flag indicates danger, and overtaking under yellow flag is always
prohibited. Also the yellow flag may have two meanings, depending if it is
stationary ("drive well within your limits") or waved ("slow down").
When the Safety Car is on the track all marshals will have the yellow flags
waving and the start/finish straight |
|
|
The
green flag indicates the end of the danger and of the ban on overtaking
indicated by an earlier yellow flag. |
|
|
The
flag with vertical red and yellow stripes warns the competitors that the
track is slippery (usually oil or water) or that there is debris on the track
|
|
|
The
red flag is displayed by all track |
|
|
The
black flag, accompanied by the number of a car, summons the driver of such
car to return to his pit. This procedure is mostly used to notify a
competitor of his exclusion from the race. The driver has 3 laps to
acknowledge the black flag and if he does not come in within that time he may
be heavily penalised and/or fined. This is also used to bring in a car for a
stop/go penalty. |
|
|
A
black flag with an orange disc (known as the "meatball flag")
accompanied by the number of a car warns the driver that his car has a
mechanical problem and that he must go to his pit. |
|
|
A
flag with a white triangle and a black triangle accompanied by the number of
a car is a warning for unsporting behaviour. |
|
|
A
white flag is used to indicates that a slower
vehicle is on the track. This may be a medical or safety vehicle. This is
accompanied by a waved yellow flag in the area of the slower vehicle and
normal yellow flags rules apply. At the start of the last lap (after the
"penultimate lap") all drivers are shown the white flag. This
indicates their is one more competition lap to run. |
|
|
The
chequered flag always signals the finish of the race, even if the Clerk of
the Course waves his flag too early, the race still ends when he gives this
signal. However, if he waves it too late the classification is that obtained
at the end of the scheduled number of laps. Only cars which have covered 90%
of the distance will be classified. A driver does not necessarily have to
still be on the track to be classified, but if a car takes more than twice as
long as the fastest lap time achieved by the winner to complete his last lap,
this lap will not be taken into account. |
