F1 2001 Blue Flags....same as CS?

  Hey has anyone run into a problem with the blue flags being waved at you
when you are trying to unlap yourself?   This was happened in F1CS2000, if
you got spun or damaged and ended up being lapped, you are in big trouble
for a race penalty.
  Even if you are faster than cars on the lead lap, once you pass them you
immeadiately got a blue flag warning.   (I can see the games logic<or lack
there-of> )  The game sees that you are in 22nd posistion and even tho you
caught and passed the 3rd place car, the game starts waving blue flags
because it automatically assumes the car you just past is the faster one.
  Now this wouldn't be a problem in a spread out race...after all you caught
him, passed him, and can drive away from him(hopefully) before the 3rd blue
flag is waved.  However, if you catch up to a line of cars, you can't get
away from the cars you just passed because you have to deal with the racers
right in front of you.
  So the old question is:
Does the above Blue Flag/Black Flag behaivior still exist in F1 2001?
