I’m trying to understand what exactly happened in the Abu Dabi F1 2021 Drama, but as someone very new to racing I don’t seem to understand what exactly happened. I keep hearing lapped cars were allowed to unlap, but as someone who hasn’t seen that match or any for that matter, I don’t exactly know what that means.

Being “lapped” means you are passed by someone a full lap ahead of you.
“Unlapping” is overtaking that person so they are less than a full lap ahead of you.
If you weren’t allowed to unlap, then you are forced to stay behind someone who has lapped you
