Canadian Grand Prix 2011, Circuit Gilles Villeneuve - Race 7/19

Maybe DRS should be on a time limit on how long they can use it after the activation zone?

It did seem all to easy on that back straight.

or they should scrap DRS and let them build more powerful kers units

 

[Dr Who]

where you watching a different race,other than webber outbreaking himself twice. It was a clear pass before the corner.

Please learn to spell BRAKING, BREAKING is what happens to a car at the end of its life not the end of a straight.

 

[Johnz0r]

DRS was cheap today, and cost Schumi of a podium. However, what a race and what a season there is more goings on in one race these days than in past full seasons.

 

[Participant]

He has a serious point?

And? Firstly he's referring to a race 30 years ago under completely different conditions, secondly plenty of dangerous situations can still be funny, and thirdly he should cry harder.

 

[Dr Who]

i dont get how people like DRS..

i dont mind kers its your choice where you use it but DRS is a joke it turns a driver whos crap at overtaking into a overtake master

Because the next lap around, the person who was passed can use it to have a go back, so it results in more passing on track, that is a good thing.

or they should scrap DRS and let them build more powerful kers units

Or a thought would be let them use either DRS or KERS at once, so you can either try to overtake using KERS or overtake using DRS.

That would give the other guy chance to defend with KERS.

DRS is necessary to keep public interest in the sport, without overtaking and excitement the sport dies.

What they need to do is find a way to allow cars to get close to each other and race wheel to wheel in a less artificial way, until that people I think DRS is a necessary evil.

Edit: I do think at times it was too easy for overtakes.

And continue to restrict dirty air,I still cant fathom the lack of press on how effective banning Double Diffuser is and that, the rules are so tight they arent going to replace. It has halved the following distance down from 1sec+ last year to 0.4-0.6secs this year.
That by far has had the biggest good impact this season.

.

It was a knee jerk reaction to the teams using Double Diffusers which they've banned anyway. It's just not needed, they can now follow closely as we have seen at every single race this season.

But in the case of Canada today, The car that got passed by the other car with DRS had no chance cause they could just use it again when they got out of the chicane!

JB on MSC, masa on koby and a few others.

Hyperbole edited. But its not completely foolproof. We had MSC lead Webber for a good few laps before he could take advantage. If you are the faster car you can avoid it..

Would be better then the current system, imo.

And this is why 2 zones today was a farce.

Very much so I agree.

No you can't there was absolutely no defence against it.

If you havent already watch the Senna movie crazy how close cars used to be a few years ago

 

[Django x2]

Cry harder.

seriously, what? Why is it that whenever you post in a thread, it's like the special kids have been let out. It could have been a very serious incident. Sure it was funny in hindsight, but I can promise if that was you, your suit would have been filled with brown stains as your relaxed, previously invaded rectum, let go.

 

[gord]

No you can't there was absolutely no defence against it.

So the implementation can be improved at this track? First time it has been used there so you'll afford the implementation some leeway this year?

Vettel kept Hamilton behind him in Spain despite DRS.

 

[Indy500]

That's how it used to be done. The Tyrrell only had a V8 versus the Stewart's V10 engine too...

 

[Dr Who]

And this is why 2 zones today was a farce.

Indeed, this was the issue more than DRS as a rule.

 

[~Mike~]

WOW what a race after the rain delay.

Congrats to Jenson what a fantastic drive. I was hoping for a different winner other than Vettel, couldn't be happier that it is was Jenson. His speed was outstanding at the end.

Lewis needs to learn a few lessons. He should listen to what Lauda said;

"What Hamilton did there goes beyond all boundaries," Lauda said during his commentary on RTL television. "He is completely mad."

Also I laughed at that poor marshal who decided to entertain us all. Glad he didn't get hit though.
