Yellow or green flag?

Personally (depending on the corner, circuit, etc) - if all 4 off but they're heading in the right direction I won't bother flagging. Whilst they're still going, they're not a hazard IMHO. They could become a hazard when they rejoin the circuit - and deciding if that's going to need a yellow is where flagging becomes an art again.

The best training of all happens on post working alongside the best. Anything I'm posting here comes courtesy of some very, very good, very patient colleagues over many years, and I can still find myself alongside people that I'm in awe of. I hope my flagging in practice matches the theory given here - I always intend it to, doesn't always happen
