The Race F1 Podcast · Scripted for TV?! F1's driver radio moaning problem · 30 Jul 2026 podcast

So what Conor's described about US racing back in the day in F1, you wouldn't have people necessarily fighting to stay on the lead lap in the hope that they're going to get a caution and a reset or a safety car.

back when those weren't as common but the blue flag was just kind of as you described advising you that a faster car is is behind and that's why you know some drivers became almost famous for being a bit rubbish at getting out of the way and there was there was an art form to making your way through traffic and now there isn't really but it's because the lead drivers they got held up for

five corners or half a lap they'd be complaining massively afterwards and i feel that maybe f1 overreacted and has now got to the point where yeah you see a handful of blue flags and as you said con you basically have to give up let the leader buy and then you've kind of got a hope that someone else in front of you has to give up to let the leader buy so you can get back on your race

I think that's what that situation actually exposed, is that for all the other systems that are in place, whether it's lights, flags and everything else, I guess to give Carlos the benefit of the doubt, maybe the cockpit lights are the things that the drivers go by because they require you to kind of avert your gaze the least from what you're trying to do.

I love the idea that he got told that the car in front of him had blue flags and he goes...

oh, well, that's my opportunity to get past them.

What a shame for Fernando that he's got blue flags and that you couldn't put two and two together.

I do.

I do definitely think that Carlos was completely in the wrong.

And any driver who ignores that many blue flags is in the wrong.

But I also accept and kind of offer a better perspective than this, that when we look at TCAM footage and we're able to keep pausing it and go, look, another blue light, look, another blue light.

You know, if one of those is off to the right and you're going through a left hander.

OK, racing drivers tend to have excellent peripheral vision.

But I do get that if one of your signals is missing and it's the one you rely on is a bit more difficult.

And then it means that that communication from the pit wall should have been clearer.

If they were saying Alonso's getting blue flags, that's actually to come back to Toto Wolff's comment.

That's pretty bad work from the Teletubby engineers to not go.

You're both getting blue flags or Piastri's right on your tail.

Yeah.

We've accepted for a long time that visibility out of single seater racing cars, whether it's straight ahead to the side and certainly in your rear view mirrors, is bad.
