But the standard steering rack is not dangerous, it is only changed so that 24 cars don't get stuck in a traffic jam at the hairpin.

By the way , it's "Dopey Racing System" , not "Dumb" .

Dump this Ridiculous System .
Doesn't Really make Sense .

But DRS is not dangerous, it's only not allowed so...... (I'm trying to help you here)

Remember Sutil deploying DRS just a tad too early in Melbourne. Now imagine Yuji Ide doing the same thing...

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.

Hamilton passed Button on pit straight because he KERS in his pocket; and Rosberg at a different section of track because Hamilton had better grip.

Yeah but if you put your right foot down too quick you can spin ;) Driver skill eh wot wot?

Here's what Rubens , chairman of the GPDA has to say about DRS at Monaco :


"I can see a race [filled] with safety cars. If they could listen still: I think Monaco is what it is. It is not overtaking territory," he said.

"Do they think they can introduce overtaking through the DRS? They possibly can, but they might hurt someone. That is a voice from experience."


It's not safe at Monaco .

That is , apparently , because the track is too tight .
Have they no driver skill eh wot wot ?

They must be worried about something .
Could it be those possible spins ?

Why would he think there would be lots of safety cars ?

Why is it that a mechanical passing aid isn't safe at all the tracks , and "may hurt someone" ?

Why is it needed at all when Alonso said that most of the passing was down to the differences in tires anyway ?

I'm kinda liking "Dismal" , too .
And , "Doofus" isn't bad , either .
"Discombombulated" or "Discombooberated" also work well .

Damn Ridiculous System , if you ask me .

It is just not needed, it's as simple as that.

.....because off-line in the tunnel at Monaco is gonna see marbles galore, and is the only way to pass. Alonso, Hulkenberg and others have come a cropper in the tunnel, and that was without the Pirelli licorice twists. How's it gonna be with low downforce coupled with levels of grip akin to driving on ice?

It's gonna have to be on the start finish straight/kink.
