Can we have a rule that black flags the slow fellows like Karthikeyan who don't let lapping cars past?

I recon that the rules should change to require the DRS to activate at the entry to all corners (once the brake is applied), then shut once the power is on - might demonstrate which car has the best mechanical grip rather than which team has the best wind tunnel data
I'm only half kidding, but I do agree with the rule changes, especially the in-season testing.

#F1 In other changes, under a safety car lapped cars will now unlap themselves and join back of queue so they are not in way at restart

Does it open the door for more calls of bias for the race director and advisors , when a following car can be either helped by a safety car taking away cars already lapped by the lead driver , or hindered , by leaving them there with mere yellows ?
And , will it tempt any to sacrifice a car , to get a safety car , when it not only brings the pack together , but removes any road blocks in between ? It sounds pretty tempting , and could easily be done with more finesse than the the way Flav and Jr. went about it .
If you worked it right , it could work .
Josh McErlean just 0.1 seconds off the WRC2 stage win in SS3, faster than Toksport team mates Solberg and Greensmith - impressive job.
