so it will be positioned in braking zones for corners this is a great idea, pretty much just traffic lights on every corner hehe though obviously it wont replace the waved flags by the martials all together, especially if there is any problems on straights.

Race drivers in any category of motorsport race an age old problem of focusing on the task at hand while also remaining aware enough to spot the waved yellow flag, something that causes problems every year in every category.
Today in Barcelona, a new innovation was on trial – the electronic flag. Placed at the braking zone, the large display illuminates in various flag colours including, green, red, blue and yellow.
The FIA have long toyed with the idea of such electronic displays that can be controlled from a central location by the race director.
With a standardised electronic control unit in place for the forthcoming season, such systems can now be integrated with ease into the software on board the car and therefore the display on the steering wheel.
