BLUE FLAG...Honestly!


The solid blue flag orders backmarkers to give way to faster cars.

A blue flag informs a driver that a faster car is approaching and that the driver should move aside to allow one or more faster cars to pass.

In Formula One, if the driver about to be lapped ignores three waved blue flags in a row, he is required to make a drive-through penalty. The blue flag may also be used to warn a driver that another car on the same lap is going to attempt to overtake them.

“Blue flag, come on, blue flag!”

Sebastian Vettel yelled as he seethed in his Ferrari behind Kevin Magnussen’s Renault during the 2016 Japanese Grand Prix.

“They are one lap down, and I understand sometimes they have their own fight, but it’s not difficult to let people past,” Raikkonen said. “Some of them were just crazy.”

Quote of the day: “I’ve got balls, but none of them are crystal."
