Ayniq: Do you think it is insignificant?
Nothing is insignificant, but what you regard as a huge red flag might be seen by others (like me) neither as huge nor as red.
According to Wikipedia, in racing, the red flag “is displayed when conditions are too dangerous to continue the session.” – I think we can completely rule out this case, at least as far as we know. The race has begun, we have just mastered the DenseLight chicane, have been in the Sanan pit stop, are now back on track with fresh tyres and have gone full throttle again.
You might argue that the lack of institutional investors could instead be the yellow flag, “or caution flag, [which] universally requires drivers to slow down due to a hazard on the track, typically an accident, a stopped car, debris or light rain.” – While I’d agree that it is always good to be cautious and to be aware of any sort of hazards on the track, I don’t think that the lack of institutional investors justifies the yellow flag.
In my opinion, these are normal racing conditions in Formular Venture racing, and I wouldn’t race, em, raise any flag at all – except perhaps, in the forseeable future, the blue flag to competitors.
