In QUALIFYING you will be shown blue flag if you are slower than the driver
behind, which I believe is the same as present F1

In the period depcited by GPL (and indeed for at least a decade later) the
waved blue flag was simply advisory only........it indicated to a driver
that a vehicle was close behind and may attempt an overtaking manouvre.
It was NOT a mandatory requirement for anyone receiving the waved blue flag
to pull over and let the other car past.
So the fact that you are being waved at is simply to let you know another
car is approaching at speed.....and it is immaterial whether you are on the
same lap or not.
