Quantity ≠quality.
DRS "overtakes" as they're called, or "driving past in a straight line" as they should be referred to, are currently mutilating F1 racing beyond recognition:
- Drivers are deliberately slowing down in order to be second across the DRS lines.
- Good defensive driving is quickly becoming extinct (thanks also to anti-racing tyres).
- Drivers are taking less risks (thanks also to bonehead stewarding).
- Overtaking is effectively confined to the sections of the circuit the FIA deem appropriate.
- The FIA implement DRS in areas of the track where overtaking is already possible.
Without DRS we would have boring Races almost on every Circuit,where Qualifying =Race. What do u think?
The "boring races" argument is the same claptrap Autosport/Paul Hembrey were coming out with around Barcelona when the fans started to cry enough with the mozzarella tyres. Excitement ≠overtaking when you have strategy (which is now 100% mozzarella conservation), tension, beautiful cars (absent) and a sense of speed on good circuits (also absent). Even racing ≠overtaking, there doesn't ultimately need to be an actual overtake (see Nurburgring race for the lead) to get a thrilling race.
DRS is ruining F1, even more than the tyres IMHO.
