Q1. A marshal shows a single waved yellow flag as you approach a corner. What must you do?
  • A.  Maintain racing speed but keep to the racing line
  • B.  Slow down significantly and be prepared to change direction; no overtaking
  • C.  Stop immediately at the marshal post
  • D.  Slow down slightly and overtaking is permitted on the straight only
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B. Slow down significantly and be prepared to change direction; no overtaking
A single waved yellow means danger on or near the track, so a driver must reduce speed significantly, be ready to alter course or stop, and overtaking is forbidden. A stationary yellow signals a lesser hazard, while a full stop is only required for a red flag.
Q2. At a standing start, what does a single red flag shown stationary at the front of the grid signify, immediately before the start sequence begins?
  • A.  The race has been stopped
  • B.  All cars are correctly aligned and the start sequence may proceed
  • C.  A car has stalled on the grid
  • D.  The formation lap is about to begin
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B. All cars are correctly aligned and the start sequence may proceed
A held (stationary) red flag at the front of the grid is used in many start sequences to show the grid is complete and correctly formed before the lights sequence begins. A waved red flag, by contrast, means the session is stopped.
Q3. A driver is forced off the track by another car's unsafe manoeuvre and briefly runs beyond the track limit as a result. How is this situation typically treated?
  • A.  Considered on the balance of fault, and a penalty is generally not applied to the driver forced off
  • B.  Treated identically to a driver who left the track through their own error
  • C.  Automatically penalised regardless of circumstance
  • D.  Ignored entirely, with no review of either driver's conduct
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A. Considered on the balance of fault, and a penalty is generally not applied to the driver forced off
Where a driver is forced off track by another car's unsafe move, stewards typically assess fault and do not penalise the driver who was forced off, while the driver causing the incident may face sanction. Track limits rules are applied with regard to context, not as an absolute liability regardless of cause.
