DEFINITION
Danger is the formal term for any condition that puts people at risk on or around the course — debris on the line, a stopped car in a blind spot, a crowd in the wrong place. Marshals and the chief judge can stop a session for danger at any time.
All competitors and crew are required to report danger immediately if they spot it.
HISTORY & ORIGIN
Standard motorsport safety terminology, identical across FIA-sanctioned series.
TECHNIQUE BREAKDOWN
There is no driving technique. The protocol is: spot it, radio it to race control, act on the resulting flag (yellow, red, or session pause).
PRO TIPS & COMMON MISTAKES
• If you see danger, report it. Don't assume someone else has.
• Common mistake: continuing a run past a yellow flag because 'I was nearly done'.
The session was paused for danger after a barrier section came loose at the entry.
