Flags Guide

Flag signals are a vital part of the running of a Grand Prix. They are the only way that race officials can communicate directly with the drivers.
They tell a driver of danger, success and failure.

CHEQUERED FLAG-The race has ended.Shown first to the winner, and then to every car to cross the line behind them.

RED FLAG-The race has been stopped, usually because a car is lying in a dangerous position after an accident or because conditions are too poor for racing to be safe.

YELLOW FLAG-Indicates danger ahead and overtaking is prohibited. A single waved yellow flag means slow down, a double waved yellow warns that the driver must be prepared to stop if necessary.

BLUE FLAG-Shown to a driver to indicate that a faster car is behind him and trying to overtake. Shown both to lapped cars and those racing. A lapped car must allow the faster car past after seeing a maximum of three blue flags or risk being penalised. A racing car is under no obligation to move over.

BLACK FLAG-Shown with a car number to indicate that the driver must call into the pits immediately, usually because he has broken the rules and will be disqualified.

RED AND YELLOW STRIPED FLAG-The track is slippery. This usually warns of oil or water on the track.

GREEN FLAG-A hazard has been cleared up and the cars can proceed at racing speed.

BLACK FLAG WITH AN ORANGE DISC-Shown with a car number to indicate that the car has a mechanical problem and the driver must return to his pit immediately.

WHITE AND BLACK DIAGONAL HALVES-Shown with car number to indicate a warning for unsportsmanlike behaviour. A black flag may follow if the driver takes no heed of the warning.

WHITE FLAG-Warns of a slow-moving vehicle on the track, such as a tow truck or safety car.
