NO the flags were correct!!!....if you knew anything about flag marshalling, then the flag marshal was clearly getting ready to blue flag the back marker but by his flag point he was bringing it in because it was too late SO HE WAS CORRECT, then at lunar the flag marshal was going crazy WHICH WAS CORRECT

the 10-20m thing is just to give an idea on the closing speeds in that video.....every series is different depending on the cars.

and finally your comment that the marshal should have been waving it like crazy is complete and utter rubbish!!!!!!!

put yourself in an 8 year olds shoes, racing at 40mph around a tight corner......if you see a blue flag waving like crazy out the corner of your eye, what do you do??? you panic!, move off the line.....and what happens then?? you run into the kart next to you that is the leader and trying to lap you!!!!! wave it like crazy and the poor kid will have taken all 3 of them out of the race!......the lad being lapped did the correct thing and held his line, i know if i was the flag marshal on that post i would have done the same thing as the flaggie down there, bring th eblue flag in and let them sort it out between themselves, sometimes it is safer and better for all involved to not show the flag if it is too late and will likely result in an accident!
