This could mean something as simple as heavy rainfall, that is dangerous for reasons of visibility or driveability, or perhaps a crash has occurred that requires removal, barrier repair, or a medical/extraction team to attend to a car.Ī red flag can even be shown for matters such as loose advertising hoardings, or if a piece of circuit infrastructure needs attention – anything that could be seen as a danger can trigger a red flag stoppage. The red flag is only shown when track conditions have become unsuitable for racing. Once a rarity that was only used in the most draconian of circumstances, a red flag being shown in F1 means that the session/race has stopped, racing is no longer permitted, and drivers must return to the pits with immediate effect. Just like in normal traffic rules, where ‘green means go’, the opposite also rings true.
What is an F1 red flag, and how are they used to make races safer? Sometimes, F1 needs to display red flags to stop a race on safety grounds.
