Signals and flags
Red/green Lights Pit Lane exit: The red/green lights at the Pit Lane exit must be respected, access to the track only with the green light. During the exhibition the light will remain GREEN.
White lines at the exit of the garages: The drivers must stay to the right of the white line at the exit of the garages at the moment of leaving the garages.
The single yellow flag indicates immediate danger, usually the scene of an accident. The drivers must slow down near the flag; overtaking is forbidden.
Double yellow flags, consisting of two track marshals who wave two yellow flags or a race official who waves two alternating together in the same place, indicates a situation of grave danger. The drivers must slow down gradually and be ready to deviate from the normal trajectory and eventually stop. Overtaking is forbidden.
The green flag indicates that the previous indicated danger has ceased, the track is again clear and the drivers can return to the normal speed.
The red flag indicates that the exhibition has been suspended.
The lightly shaded blue flags can have more than one meaning depending on the context. At any time a stationary light blue flag (or more commonly now a blue light) can be indicated to the driver at the exit of pit lane to warn him that other cars are approaching on the track.
During free practice the light blue flag waved on the track indicates to the driver that a faster car is getting ready to overtake and must move to the side of the track to let it pass.
The white flag indicates the presence of a slow vehicle on the track such as a racing car in difficulty, an ambulance, the removal truck or the safety car and orders the drivers to slow down.
The black flag is always accompanied by a sign with the identification number of a car and orders the driver with the number indicated to return to the pits within the following lap and to report immediately to the Track Director.
The black and white chequered flag signals the end of free practice.
The black and white flag divided in half with a diagonal line is always accompanied by a sign with the identification number of a car and informs the driver that his behaviour has been considered unsportsmanlike and will be disqualified immediately at the next infraction.
The black flag with an orange circle of 40cm positioned in the centre is always accompanied by a sign identifying a car and informs the driver that his car has technical problems that could put him or the other drivers in danger and must return immediately to the pits.
The yellow flag with red stripes signals to the drivers that the track’s surface is slippery and instructs them to slow down. This problem can be caused by the loss of oil or rain.
