not sure how to phraze this as a suggestion but ill list the problems as i see them
1 when there is a yellow flag it over rides the blue flag message, only really noticed this the other day when htere was a run of crashed cars on bl for about 1/2 a lap and it was only by noticing the map and the yellow dots that i knew i had a leader coming up to lap me, i could imagine a situation where the leader would be screaming "blue flag" and the car in front wouldnt realise it was at him.
2 yellow flags can appear on your screen when there is no longer an obstruction due to people pitting or regaining track. the first bend at ascot seems to be a favourite for this. also when you get a car that hasnt moved for ages and is well off line you still get yellow flag. this causes 2 problems:-
1 after a while you tend to mistrust yellow flags and maybe not take as much care as you should
and
2 if theres is a yellow lap after lap and you know theres a car way off track, you could get caught out by a fresh accident on the next lap as 1 parked car or 15 seperate crashes still mean just 1 flag
finally sometimes you can get blue flag warning but the car in question can take over 1/2 lap to get close enough to pass. obviously in ideal world backmarker would let car past as soon as they are close but when it takes this long it can be hard to judge when you need to let them pass.
no idea how to improve these situations but thought i'd throw them into the mix
