Something I just read coming from Alpine was that they weren't using DRS , and , although they didn't say it , it smelled to me like they may have had some problem with detachment when they opened it .

They said the problem was at top speed , and that they weren't scared to open it , but didn't because they were being cautious .
The interview stated that they had tamed the back end of the car with Alonso's adjustments , but any comparisons with the others were made with estimates of speed gained through DRS , not reality .

Hey , maybe the DRS will prove to be a liability because it triggers this instability inherent in these design parameters , and it will force them to do away with it !
A guy can hope .
