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

^ This. Or maybe up the hill after turn one.

I hope you know that I knew this .
The bend , two thirds of the way through would be scary with the open wing . That's with one car .

Start finish straight deployment will send them into the squeeze of St. Devote even faster .
The run-off there will be busy .

Can we please not mention St Devote? Can we make up another name for that part of the track? :-P

I'm not sure it would have enough effect to be useful before you got to the bends near the top , as you start out at the bottom at pretty low speed .

Just ban the damn thing altogether at all the tracks .

The important point though, lest we forget, is at least there is run off there.

I certainly don't feel that Monaco would be a safe place for DRS, but purely because it's a circuit where passing is difficult at the best of times.

Isn't it a system that is supposed to help with that ?

So , you don't think it's safe ?
Why's that . Is it too hard to control ?

I think overtaking in Monaco on the high speed bits (where DRS would be useful) is dangerous enough as it is. If it were my choice there wouldn't be a race there at all because the layout isn't condusive to racing with modern cars.

I wish we could do that.
