Remember also he tied with Alonso in 2007 on points, though Hamilton was classified ahead of him as he had more 2nd place finishes than Alonso. But on Sunday, David Croft talking about Alonso only being beaten three times by a team-mate in his career, included Hamilton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the new ground effect aero there is more of a case for binning DRS than mucking about with it. it was way too powerful this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.Aye.R Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 They'd be far better doing reverse grids or something. Crazy to try and penalise innovation and raw speed. Thats not what its about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesP_81 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I'd genuinely felt over the last few years that RB's vision was to eventually do away with DRS . Hopefully this has just been him under obligation to spell out any ideas that have been floated in meetings rather than him hinting at things to come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They explicitly said that the aim was for there to be no DRS in 2023, they’d just kept it in 2022 to ensure it overtaking was still possible if the new regs weren’t as effective as expected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats not what its about. Not a fan of these - again, punishing the successful to create a "show" just doesn't feel right for me. Thinking back to some of Bernie Ecclestone's maddest ideas, like this one. Sprinklers on corners was my favourite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingscot Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I mean was DRS overly effective this year. Seemed to be fairly similar to previous years. 9 minutes ago, Mark Connolly said: Bring back "fastest finger first" from Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Every 5 laps, the team principals have to press a button, with the winner allowed to either advance both of his drivers 5 places, or demote another single driver 5 places Random safety cars. Nobody knows what races and when until the software says so. Kinda replaces Latifi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) Cars being given more drag in contextual situations might be stupid and dangerous and complete at odds with the concept of engineering or competition, but it brings us one step closer to the Anti-Gravity Racing Leagues with weapons as seen in the WipEout video games, so who can say if it's bad or not?

DRS is effectively a mushroom boost, so I'd be in favour of giving the drivers shells, bananas, and lightning. Bring back Maldonado as well, he always drove like he had used an invincibility star 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) They could always try driving in the rain for a change instead of hiding behind shitebag red flags.

jaggyness Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I don't like them, but a sprint at spa will be interesting? What will it be? 15 laps blasting around there, surely be fun to watch? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
