Formula One Flags

Flag Signals are used in Formula One Races by track marshals to communicate
with the drivers once they are out on the track:

Yellow

Danger - Drivers should slow down & be prepared to stop if necessary as it indicates an incident on the track ahead.   Overtaking is forbidden until they pass a Green Flag.

Green

All Clear - Gives the all clear after a yellow flag incident, resuming normal race conditions.

Yellow with Red Stripes

Slippery Track - Marshall's advise of a slippery surface to the track.

Red

Race Stopped - Shown at the start/finish line advises all drivers that they should stop racing immediately and return to the pits.

Black

Race Stopped - Shown at marshall's positions around the track have the same meaning as the red flag.

Black with Car Number

Race Over - The car indicated must return to his pits immediately, usually to be disqualified for some infringement of the regulations.

Black/White Diagonal with Car Number

Unsporting Driving - Shown to a driver, only once, together with his number when his driving is considered to be unsporting.

Blue

Overtaking Car Behind - Informs a back-marker car that he is about to be lapped, or it is shown to a slower car warning that the car behind is on a fast qualifying lap.

White

Slow Car Ahead - Informs drivers that there is a slower car ahead of them.

Chequered

Finish - Shown to drivers as they cross the finish line at the end of the race.
