She heard nothing from her race engineer and the flag waving is often difficult to see. It's actually pretty common for drivers not to know exactly how many laps are left without being reminded.

Damon Hill said that he thinks the lights are the starting grid should also be used to signal the end of a race, and tbh that seems pretty logical.

until you approach the end of the race. even if the engineers didn't proactively mention it she should have been asking them.

She did. Even the broadcast played her question of how many laps are left but the pitwall crew didn't reply.
