A blue flag is shown to a driver who is about to be lapped, telling them to let the faster car behind pass as soon as it is safe. In practice and qualifying, it warns a slower car that a faster car is approaching on a flying lap.
Ignoring three blue flags can earn a driver a penalty, so it is taken seriously even though it does not change the race for the leaders.
Let the faster, lapping car pass.
To a car about to be lapped in the race, or to a slower car in the way of one on a flying lap in practice and qualifying.
Blue flags are aimed at one specific driver rather than the whole field, so Race RGB focuses on the race-defining flags. You can still build a custom reaction for it in Personalised Reactions.
