The checkered flag is a flag used in motorsports to indicate the end of a race. It is characterized by a black and white checkerboard pattern, and when this flag is waved, it signifies that the driver currently on the lap has entered the final lap.

The reason for adopting the black and white checkerboard pattern is its visibility and clarity. The high contrast between black and white makes it easy to identify from a distance, even for drivers moving at high speeds. Additionally, the checkerboard pattern is widely recognized as a symbol of 'completion' or 'end,' making it suitable for signaling the end of a race.

The checkered flag has been used in motorsports since the early 1910s, and since then, it has become a symbolic presence in the world of auto racing.
