The "get rid of DRS" crowd really ought to rewatch the 2022 Emilia Romagna GP where they didn't re-enable DRS for ages after wet running. It wasn't full of exciting non DRS overtakes. These cars still need it.

That was because it was a wet-to-dry race, and there was a single dry line.

If your argument to keep DRS is just for races that have that specific situation, then it's a pretty spurious one.

It was left disabled for far longer than just whilst there was a dry line. The argument is that without DRS the cars won't suddenly start making death defying passes into corners, they'll simply be back at barely being able to overtake at all and that GP was a prime (but very rare) example of a significant number of laps run in good conditions but with no DRS. It was crap.

The idea that scrapping DRS now would result in loads more excitement is fantasy.
 
Scrapping DRS without significant car redesign would just be pointless.
I'm also not sure the kind of racing it would promote, hard racing (that is exciting), is what FOM want these days.

Everyone would be on race bans.
