Geez , Andy , I'm only trying to make it better .
Those leading Mercs have enough power that they can have all sorts of downforce , so the effect is negated to a degree larger than the rest .
It seems they can make a bigger hole in the air , so they are hard to follow .
So , in effect , the only chance Lewis had to fight was when they encountered those backmarkers .
It's probably happened many times before , but it really bugged me when Nico was able to use them to get the DRS open , when they should be diving out of the way so as to not affect the leaders's races .
Blue flags are meant to keep them out of the way , and effectively deals with that , whilst allowing for a cleverly positioned pass , given that the guy being passed must go off line and slow .
DRS killed that possibility , at least this time , and would be easy to fix so it wouldn't happen again .
