    That said, aren’t all the marshals waving flags after the race is finished? If so, that would mean she is ignoring them, or was that not the case here?

      Wasn’t the case here. Due to the crappy position of the person waving the chequered flag, and her team not giving her info, she had no way to know the race had ended unless she was accurately counting laps from the start.
