Blue Flags LED panels (Driver numbers).F1 25

This rule was implemented in Formula 1 in 2018. In the game, this rule has not been included so far. as we can choose our numbers in the online mode, it would be really cool in cases of blue flag to show the car number on the led panel We want the game to follow FIA rules.

Typically from a Formula 1 perspective, Blue Flags are pointed at slower cars that are about to be overtaken by the leader or someone else.

It's not normal for latecomers to try to break away because they usually don't have the speed. Of course this can happen, but the unlocking car must be aware that its actions may contribute to altering the results of the race and must therefore be very cautious when trying to unlock and make it clear to the race leader. If this does not happen, accidents like the one in Brazil 2018, when an unlocked car hit the race leader (Verstappen), can destroy the race and the leader's pace and lead to actions and sanctions from Race Direction against the unlocked car for creating a accident.

To further explain how blue flags stay on the ground: - A flag marshal is usually informed by race management via radio that the leading car is number XX and that car number YY is in front of him and will need to see blue flags. So when YY approaches the checkpoint, the flag officer needs to wave the blue flag at him. (and, or, in Formula 1 there is also the blue flag on the panels that F1 brings to all races and which are controlled by Race Direction. These, since 2018, have been showing the number of the car to be run in blue on the screen so that the driver finds out more easily that he is the one who will be overtaken by the race leader).

The panel can be operated manually by the Marshal Panel and you will then see a blue flag displayed on the panel, or it can be operated by Race Control and instead it will show the number of the car that will be cut in blue as well. No matter what car he sees, the flag must be aware that a faster car is approaching to overtake him.
