Why would it rarely happen? Because the car behind is faster anyway? Doesn't that make DRS simply a catalyst to the inevitable rather than an unfair advantage?

elligible, legible, to day, today, what, want, some of your stuff makes no sense whatsover.
It's the meaning not the spelling.
Exactly, if the driver is able to make a comeback, next lap he has DRS.

Again that is not racing or overtaking, again you might as well just time trial like they do in other series and not race.
They were banned last season weren't they
What the hell is the thing they are banning then at Silverstone? Something to do with blowing exhausts down to create friction.

Yep, off throttle exhaust is being banned (well reduced) at silverstone.
He meant the Exhaust blown diffusers.
Some people knew what I meant it seems. It is all exhaust jiggery pokery. Bit of hocus pocus that makes them faster around the track.
Yeah, DRS has made overtaking a push button manoeuvre
It has at some races and at the other races it's useless and we still have overtaking.
You just have to look at today for how many overtakes were DRS and a clear pass. More than people realise when you look back in the midfield.
Good points I agree with, I think DRS needs it's own thread
I can't remember a topic I've ever been so split on with F1. I like reading all the comments, they keep changing my mind one way or another
In one respect I agree with Acid, the speed difference sometimes is absurd, then again you are right slower cars are not getting past and staying there.
I suppose the bottom line is did I enjoy the race and I did, but is that because Button won. Had Button been leading and Vettel recovered like that with DRS would I have been so happy.
Probably not
I will go back to being 50/50 and reading the interesting debate. Maybe they threw in to many things at once. I'd like to see how the races went with just these new tyres and the diffuser banned.
Just for accuracy, you mean EBD removed? DD have gone already.
I'm off to bed now anyway, I'll leave Acid alone. I don't mind his opinion on it, I just like to debate the severity of the device. I think it's quite an interesting area where you've got all sorts of fans who love F1 with various thoughts.
/legible.
opposite of that, is what I was after.
