In practice and qualifying, this means drivers are not allowed to start laps, but they are allowed to complete laps. May be followed by a black flag upon further infringement.

#LIGHT BLUE WHITE LIGHT BLUE FLAG DRIVER#

Warns a driver for unsportsmanlike behaviour. This flag is accompanied by the driver's race number. This flag is accompanied by the driver's race number.Ĭar is damaged or driver has a mechanical problem and must return to pits as soon as possible. All cars proceed to pits.ĭriver is disqualified and must return to pits immediately. Session suspended or stopped due to imminent danger to competitors or spectators, or due to bad weather. Also used when a miscellanious vehicle, such as the medical car or an ambulance, is on track. Slow moving vehicle ahead - often waved on the last corner during free practice when drivers do practice starts. In practice and qualifying, this is shown when a car is being hindered by a slower car. If the driver ignores 3 consecutive blue flags, a penalty is issued to the driver. A green flag is also shown at the start of the first session of the day.Ī blue flag indicates that the driver in front who is one or more laps down must let faster cars behind pass. This is always shown following a yellow flag to indicate that the hazard has been passed.

Can be seen 'rocked' from side-to-side (not waved) to indicate a small animal on track.

Slippery track, due to oil, water or loose debris. This board is always accompanied by a single waving yellow flag. VSC (Virtual Safety Car) is for more minor incidents, where no safety car is on track, but drivers must slow down to a required Delta. Drivers stay behind the SC until the marshals have cleared up. The flag of Chicago consists of two light blue horizontal bars, or stripes, on a field of white, each bar one-sixth the height of the full flag, and placed slightly less than one-sixth of the way from the top and bottom. Safety Car is put out on track when an incident blocks the track or leaves a lot of debris. A specific speed reduction is added in order to increase drivers’ lap time to around 35% less than a normal dry lap time.

Double waved yellow flag means overtaking prohibited due to danger on the track.

Single waved yellow flag means overtaking prohibited due to danger off the track.

The meaning can vary depending on the way it is waved and how many are waved. While technological advances has meant that, in Formula One, many flags have been replaced by signal lights, the system of coloured flags has remained constant since the early years of racing.

This process required a small about of manual tweaking for colors on the border between green and blue.All forms of motorsport use a system of flags or signal lights to inform drivers of hazards during a session. These 63 colors were then grouped into parent categories of white, black, red, blue, green and yellow using a simple algorithm to determine which parent color each shade most resembled. That reduced the number of distinct shades from 527 to 63. Because digital images are only approximations of the colors in the physical flags, we decided it was safe to further simplify these colors down to the traditional “web safe” palette of 216 possible colors. This yielded 527 different shades across 36.6 million pixels. The complete code used to generate this data, which uses Mathematica 10, is available on the Wolfram Cloud.Īfter downloading the 196 flag images from, we added up the total number of pixels of each color. In perhaps the most famous example of two countries showing up somewhere wearing the same outfit, Liechtenstein and Haiti both arrived at the 1936 Olympics flying identical banners.

Sometimes, it’s not just the colors that seem familiar.
