Question[edit]

Am I missing something? Why is it useful to have drag reduction in a braking zone? Surely a driver seeking to overtake would want reduced drag all the way along the main straight UNTIL the braking zone, rather than within the braking zone. 81.144.234.220 (talk)

You are correct. I have removed the offending text. Thanks. DH85868993 (talk) 02:52, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bad form: DRS zone[edit]

The article starts a sentence about some changes to "DRS zones", without introducing or explaining the term "DRS zones" first. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.103.187.9 (talk) 14:33, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Bigdon(talk) 15:07, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DRS Reception[edit]

"There has been a mixed to positive reaction" the article claims. I would say there has been a "mixed" reaction (i.e. equally negative and positive) amongst fans and drivers. This is quite hard to cite of course because of the new tyres making like for like comparisons difficult 86.9.78.134 (talk) 17:25, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Intention of DRS[edit]

In the reception section is a little bit about what people think of DRS. But what i miss in the article is why it was introduced in the first place. To make races more exciting to watch? PizzaMan ♨♨♨ 14:34, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article's lead states that DRS increases top speed and promotes overtaking, which is why it was introduced. SSSB (talk) 15:15, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
