Long way back to the pits to not bin it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tuned in religiously this season, bar Silverstone. I think this race, followed by the Summer Break and the football season might tune me out a little. Its not RB's fault they're brilliant, but Perez not pushing Verstappen at all has taken away any interest at the front. Bar a collision, I can see them winning every race remaining. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does nothing on piss tracks like Monaco and Hungary, and all it does on places where it is actually possible to pass is turn standard overtakes into 'breeze past you half way down the straight' laughers, and create hilarious DRS trains of equally paced cars where everyone just sits behind each other, because getting too close ruins your tyres, and trying an overtake that fails will punt you out of the DRS range, so it's much easier to just sit there .750 behind going round and round poaching the tow off of each other. Close up at the end of the straight, back off in the acceleration zone, rinse and repeat. The stated aim was to get regulation stability, close the field up, and then bin the tinpot DRS system. There's practically f**k all between the field in relative terms in Quali trim, and we're a season and a half into the same regs, so it should have been dumped well before now.

parsforlife Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 I wonder if we would be better off making DRS optional, maybe allowing it 2-3 times a race on drivers choice, completely irrelevant to how they were placed in the field. Let the top driver boost away, let drivers 1.2 seconds behind close the gap to allow a future attack, the current system is just silly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
