yellow
When there's a problem on the track, a yellow flag comes out and cars slow down. This is called a 'yellow'. Drivers can use this time to stop for tires or fuel.
A 'yellow' in racing refers to a caution period signaled by yellow flags, during which racing slows due to an incident or hazard on track. Pit stops during yellow flags can be strategic but usually take longer due to safety protocols.
