The checkered flag shows all the drivers in the race that the race is over and once the first person crosses the finish line, the flag is shown till the last car crosses. A single yellow flag is to warn a driver to slow down or be cautious but two yellow flags at the same time means they must slow down with caution and be prepared to stop if necessary. The green flag is to let drivers know the track is all clear and the yellow flag is no longer active. Red flags are a sign of stop or the session is over due to an accident or horrible weather conditions. That different flag colors can also be found in other meanings in games like Seafight or other online games that can be played online.

If you are about to be lapped a blue flag appears. Being lapped means if a car is beating you by the whole track and is about to pass you again. Yellow and red striped flag is to warn drivers about slippery roads such as oil and water on the course.
