Your opinion on 'Drag Reduction System'

IMHO the idea of the drag reduction system is ok. However, the whole thing of having a "zone" is just ridiculous. I think they should be allowed to use it once per lap, wherever they like.

Either that or allow them a certain number of uses per race, like the push to pass button in IndyCar.

I also think they should pick either KERS or DRS, not both.

I belive it sucks... BIG TIME... and they say it's a huge success so I guess it's here to stay. After all the whole point is to attract the morons... I mean the average guy. Most real F1 fans will follow anyway, it's not like the first time they have to deal with stupid rules... though I don't recall a more stupid one.

Nothing wrong with a bit moore overtaking, I like it, guess it´s therefore a bad thing for the experts.

He seemed to have his flap open (oo-er missus) for a couple of seconds when behind MSC but out of the zone. As it's supposed to be controlled by race control I can't imagine they'll be able to penalise him for it, especially given that it seems to still be Beta technology with its share of teething trouble. Anyway, he didn't gain an advantage, but it's certainly worth monitoring in future races. :s

Crap, just like it was crap in Oz.

i'm still pleasantly surprised by it, there doesn't seem to be any absolute freebies, you need to be a good chunk quicker to actually make it work.

Agreed. It looks daft when a faster car breezes past a much slower one, but when they're roughly evenly matched it still requires the overtaker to use skill under braking and to be able to control the extra speed going into the corner. It's not handing the pass to them on a plate, but I suspect that this was partially down to the FIA shortening the zone during the weekend. Had it been the whole straight as originally planned I fear it may have made a mockery of the race but, as in Malaysia, I think it was just about right.
