2. The Vettel - Max moment was the only interesting thing. The few overtakes were completed with DRS, before even reaching the braking zone. You just cannot follow another car without a huge tyre or car advantage.
DRS hatred needs to take a back seat here....
It's the longest goddamn straight on the goddamn calendar, all overtakes here were exactly the same sort of drive-bys before they ever thought of DRS
after a race where it was pretty much perfect in Bahrain, it was almost non-existant this weekend
I agree with you that it worked pretty well in Bahrain. The problem that I have with DRS is that every on track battle is different, so there is no fair way of doing it.
If it's a Ferrari vs Mercedes running on the same strategy, it's almost impossible to follow closely enough to get within a second, so the DRS almost needs to be stronger.
But if it's a car on old tyres ahead of a car on fresh tyres, it is far too easy for the car behind to breeze by on the straight.
That is why Indycar's push to pass system is much fairer, as it gives the car ahead a chance to defend. Or, better still, finally come up with some rules that allow cars to follow each other more closely, and ditch DRS completely. Or lose the DRS zones and give each driver 200 seconds of DRS use anywhere they want, throughout the race.
