DRS exposed for it's fakeness, again :down: Get rid of it. Pirelli is doing a better job, without a gimmicky post box slot at the ar$e end of the car.

Every pass is just a formality. You see a driver catching up and you know he'll pass. I had no doubt Alonso would overtake Webber and later on the other way around. All you can hope for is that he won't succeed in his first attempt but you know for sure that nothing worth remembering will happen.
I recall staying on the edge of my seat a few year ago when Mika was trying to pass MS at Spa and then he finally made that great pass and there I was jumping up and down in the house (I was young back then). I knew the Mclaren was faster but I also knew MS could defend and that he would do whatever it takes and he did but then one bad choice from him and an excellent one for Mika and there you have one of the best moves ever. Now all they have to do is push a button and hope the wing didn't get stuck. What a freakin' great show it is.
Anyway, MS thinks it's mega super dooper idea. What about that Ioan?
Exactly my point, put better.Quote:

Another overtake into the record books, which is what we all want isn't it? :dozey:Quote:

I've never argued that F1 needs more overtaking. It needs more racing. The current cars are not designed to race each other, they're designed to run in clean air and DRS does nothing to fix that problem.
:up: Amen! They got DRS wrong in Turkey. I hope they learn from this. Maybe, rather that allowing full use of DRS in qually and practice, they should use it to determine it's best positioning on the track for best racing?Quote:

Besides, yes I get feeling the correct use of KERS is helpful to perform the same advantage as DRS if the drivers are skillful to optimize it handy.
DRS = Dumb Racing Solution :down:

Watching the race again, the racing/passing was not just confined to the DRS zone - quite a lot of passing at the final chicane/start finish straight.
^^^^
Indeed, a lot of the drivers were utilizing the systems to get closer into 12, to then make the move into 1.
I can't help but think that all these moaners about the DRS would've hated the 'good old days'. Especially at Monza and the great slipstream battles. Positions could change twice in a straight such was the speed advantage of being behind.
