Your opinion on 'Drag Reduction System'

We might have some luck, with Charlie thinking about a 2nd detection zone with drivers voicing their opinion.

Whiting, however, is not satisfied and is close to arranging for a second activation point to be applied ahead of the second 'DRS' straight at Silverstone in a fortnight.
If not, the chasing driver has "a double advantage", argues Rubens Barrichello, because "he can drive off with his flat rear wing" in the second DRS zone "even if he is already ahead".
Sebastian Vettel agrees: "Rubens is right. When Button passed Schumacher in Montreal, Michael didn't stand a chance."
But a dissenting voice is Nick Heidfeld's, who argues: "The whole point is that the faster driver can pass. If the slower one can attack immediately again, the first overtaking move was pointless."

God F1 is so boring this year, why don't they make the DRS more effective so we can see Nascar style passing.

Heidfeld talking rubbish! :down:

Double DRS zones with double detection zones seem to be the fairest way. I see Heidfeld's point, but then again he can always wait to the second zone to use the DRS if he wants to avoid being DReSsed back. come to think of it, There could be some good racing tactics involved with 2 detection zones.

If they have not realised by now that DRS is a rediculous system, they never will and god help us for all the other gimmicks they may intriduce in the future. Experts my ar$e :down:

What's wrong with DRS? If F1 doesn't use it to help passing what else can they do?

Come up with sound aero rules, that's what they should do.
Still they chose to keep DRS and drop the new aero rules that were prepared for 2013. :down:

It´s a very stupid idea. It helps overtaking by creating an artificial advantage for one driver in the detriment of another. what's not wrong about that?... not to mention the fact that it either makes passes too easy or it is completely ineffective like on Sunday (al least that's what I've heard, going to the pool even with only 20 degress outside seemed a better idea than THE SHOW). And I believe racing it's not just about passes. One should have the skills to make a pass, it should be a challenge not just push a button and take off.

I think it's funny that the solution to overtaking difficulties (due to aero wake) has been around since the Lotus 78. Heck, GP2 were running ground effect until the 2011 car redesign, and GP2 racing is worse off for the lack of it.

But how do you make ground effects interesting to the average Joe who watches every 4th race? With DRS is simple the commentators keep pointing it out every 10 seconds that the driver behind will now have the possibility to use the DRS and every an and his dog can see how the wing angle changes and the car behind goes 20 kph faster all of a sudden. This is F1s problem, catering to the wrong audience, to those who come an go without any special interest into the sport.
