I agree with alot of the above.
At this circuit the main staright is not particularly long, and after a high speed corner.
I personally think it should able to be used at any point on the lap, so you can aid your slipstream to turn 1, 3 or is it 12 or 13 after the quick chicane, and more freedom as said would help the re pass.
I think for me you need a wider time to use it, or not at all. The one straight per lap approach is a bit bizzare.
Not sure how you would regulate all of this to be honest, but its not my job.
If the rules stay as they are though I think at Spain, Canada, Turkey, Brazil among others with longer straights we will see more affect.
Lets wait and see.I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

Yer its obvious at Sepang it should be more effective, while you couldn't watch the Monaco GP and say "Well it didn't increase overtaking". Nothing will.
So we need to wait and see and except on some tracks its just not going to have an effect.I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

Crap, complete crap. I hope they remove it soon or let it be used all the time. Nonsense that it should be available to one driver, but not to another during a fight.

If it is used all of the time then it would be completely pointless because the car infront could use it too.

Made no difference as far as I could see. Apart from being something to talk about it didn't create any more overtaking opportunities.

It worked well so far.
It cut the deficit of running against a brickwall at the last corner. Best example being Alonso catching Webber mid-race, just before Webber pitted. Under normal conditions Alonso would never have caught up Webber on the pit straight.The world according to Taki Inoue: https://mobile.twitter.com/takiinoue/st ... 7249326080

You see this on the onboard, suddenly turns in more when he hits the dip, easy thing to do as you need to keep close to it to not jump off the road. ...
