What do flags mean in Formula1??

      Flags in Formula One are really really important, just like a part of rule, when driver does not adopt to them, always will be punished, so it is serious….:). I would like to explain you a little bit what they mean.

( Ten flags which I made especially for you:))

                                     So in Formula One there is TEN FLAGS

       the most popular is…obviously the chequered one:D

It seemed to me that this flag is always show us finished race where it is shown to the winner and every driver behind him but not exactly in qualifying and practice sessions it is waved at the allotted time.

      

      The second one that we can see very often is yellow flag which means some kind of danger that is ahead, debris from the crash.... driver must slow down and be prepared for stop.

      Two yellow flags mean almost the same  there is some kind of danger that is ahead, drivers must 

slow down and be prepared to stop, no overtaking is allowed.

      

      The next flag is red one explains that  the sessions has been stopped usually due to an accident or poor track contditions.

      Green flag is positive one, because tell the driver that any previous danger has been removed, the truck is now clear and drivers can back to the racing speed and overtake again.

      

      The next one is white flag which warns driver to slow down, because of slow moving vehicle such as retiring car or an ambulance.

     

      Black flag accompanied with a number on the board warns driver who is excluded from the race, which means that he has to drive to return to his pit in the next lap.

      Another flag half white and black warns driver of unsporting behafiour, may be followed by a black flag.

(unfortunately  I could not find waving flag during the race)

      Next flag black with orange circle which is show with a car number inform driver that his car has a mechanical problem, he has a potential to hurt himself or drivers around him. He must return into the pit.

      Next flag the blue one. It may be waving flag or blue lights which warns driver that he is about to be lapped and to let the faster car overtake.

      The last, but not least flag:) is the yellow and red stripped flag warns drivers of a slippery truck surface, usually due to water or lots of debris.
