But was it? Did DRS allow the driver to close on the straight (but not pass) and then be close enough to challenge around the rest of the lap. Or did it allow that driver to overtake the slower car thus he was in a position to fight with the opposition ahead. i.e. DRS brings more into play than just passing your opposition.Quote:

By your logic, the normal steering racks that they use on normal tracks are unsafe because they don't use them in Monaco.Quote:

Why wouldn't that be a good idea ?
Thats only because of one corner on the Monaco circuit that is too tight to turn around with the standard rack!Quote:

Not apply that logic to Monaco with DRS in mind.....Quote:
