Who ordered up the extra downforce in the first place , anyway ?

I think it's pretty well understood that a load of wings on the body , especially at the rear of the vehicle will always produce a large area of low pressure behind it as a result .
They know this .
They've known it for a long time .

And , they know they can get loads more from the underside of the car , which , incidentally , won't produce near as much wake turbulence .

Bottas remarked that last year they were sketchy inside of 1.5 seconds of the guy ahead , but this year it happens out at 2.5 seconds , so getting in tight enough to get the DRS activated is going to be tough , unless your car is significantly faster , and can follow another car easily .

I'm more than a little confused as to why this hasn't been fixed .
