I have been thinking about a few issues I have identified.

 

1 - Defending isnt what it used to be as DRS makes it much harder.  Defensive battles seem a lower priority than airing an overtake.

2 - Issues where after overtaking, cant then pull away as the car behind is able to use DRS to keep within distance.

3 - I remember Vettel using DRS during quali at many points of the lap and he was good at it, before they restricted it. I still think anything that enhances driver skill aspect of the sport is good.

 

All options I would accept if proposed.

 

1 - Remove DRS zones, used anywhere.

2 - DRS allowed if can get within 0.005 seconds. (1/20th of current distance).

3 - DRS now allowed if slowing before activation point.

4 - Limited use of DRS adding to strategical element.

 

These are not flaw free proposals (every proposal is likely to have flaws).  But they interest me.

I would like to see two changes to DRS:

1- Use it anywhere for attack or defence.
2- you get 100 uses during a GP ( Quali and Race).

So a Q1 team would in theory start the race with a few more DRS clicks vs the Pole sitter.


Make it a driver decision. No different to the 80s where drivers turned up their turbo to pass.
