Edit:
After not noticing until this race and being informed in the comments, I decided to find out what's behind this phenomenon.
Here's an article about it.
I also wanted to know when those double chequered flags started, so I had a look at both 2025 and 2024 race finishes, and as far as I could determine, the first time this occurred was at Abu Dhabi 2024. Every other race in 2024 looked to only have the official flag.
Maybe one for the drivers and one for the cameras? I see that the top one has a big FIA logo on it, but I don't know if that matters.
Thinking about it, I remember that the official weaver was actress Ana De Armas and maybe UAE wouldn't like a woman doing something (it's an Islamic country after all).
Top one seems to me like MBS himself! He also came into the cool down area to weirdly grab Norris' hair!
It was always two flags for the last couple of seasons.
