Appendix L, chapter IV, art.2 says:
a) During a race, a car alone on the track may use the full width of the said track. However, as soon as it is caught up on a straight by a car which is either temporarily or constantly faster, the driver shall give the other vehicle the right of way by pulling over to one side in order to allow for passing on the other side.
b) If the driver who has been caught does not seem to make full use of his rear-view mirror the fl ag marshal(s) will give a warning by waving the blue fl ag to indicate that another competitor wants to overtake.
Any driver who does not take notice of the blue fl ag may be penalised by the Sporting Stewards.
Systematic or repeated offences may result in the exclusion of the offender from the race.
c) Curves, as well as the approach and exit zones thereof, may be negotiated by the drivers in any way they wish, within the limits of the track. Overtaking, according to the circumstances, may be done either on the right or on the left.
However, manoeuvres liable to hinder other drivers such as premature changes of direction, more than one change of direction, deliberate crowding of cars towards the inside or the outside of the curve or any other abnormal change of direction, are strictly prohibited and shall be penalised, according to the importance and repetition of the offences, by penalties ranging from a fi ne to the exclusion from the race. The repetition of dangerous driving, even involuntary, may result in the exclusion from the race.
d) Any obstructive manoeuvre carried out by one or several drivers, either having common interests or not, is prohibited. The persistent driving abreast of several vehicles, as well as fanshaped arrangement, is authorised only if there is not another car trying to overtake. Otherwise the blue fl ag will be waved.
e) The penalty inflicted for ignoring the blue flag will also be applied to the drivers who obstruct part of the track and shall be more severe in the case of systematic obstruction, thus ranging from a fi ne to the exclusion from the race. The same penalty shall be applied to drivers who swing from one side of the track to the other in order to prevent other competitors from overtaking.
f) The repetition of serious mistakes or the appearance of a lack of control over the car (such as leaving the track) may entail the exclusion of the drivers concerned.
g) The race track alone shall be used by the drivers during the race

My question is: is this about a race or it's for many races together (let's say 2 or 3)?
for example:
However, manoeuvres liable to hinder other drivers such as premature changes of direction, more than one change of direction, deliberate crowding of cars towards the inside or the outside of the curve or any other abnormal change of direction, are strictly prohibited and shall be penalised, according to the importance and repetition of the offences, by penalties ranging from a fi ne to the exclusion from the race. The repetition of dangerous driving, even involuntary, may result in the exclusion from the race.
so the driver will be excluded in a race in which he repets dangerous driving? or let's say in a race he is driving dangerous and then in the next race he repets his dangerous driving and then he gets the exclusion from the race.
I think this article is a about a race (and it's valid for the every race alone). just want to be sure if this is so :)

i would expect that is handled on a race by race basis but obviously if you were to keep doing dangous things you would get your super license revoked meaning you would not be able to compete in F1

this is what happened to Yuji Ide

Yes, i'm agreed with you. The repetion of dangerous driving in many races counts on the super license, but not on the giving a penalty.
The driver will get a penality only if he repets serious mistakes in the same race. i'm right?

Yep for example if a driver decided to be an bottom the whole race he would get disq might even get a race ban but it wouldn't continue from race to race

This. Every race is a separate event. He may lose the super license if there is a large pattern, but I dont think anyone ever has.

This doesn't say that the faster driver has to be ahead. I.e. this could theoretically be used when the drivers are racing for position. Theoretically.

a) During a race, a car alone on the track may use the full width of the said track. However, as soon as it is caught up on a straight by a car which is either temporarily or constantly faster, the driver shall give the other vehicle the right of way by pulling over to one side in order to allow for passing on the other side.
b) If the driver who has been caught does not seem to make full use of his rear-view mirror the flag marshal(s) will give a warning by waving the blue flag to indicate that another competitor wants to overtake.
