Formula 1's Drag Reduction System [DRS] has been a hot talking point recently, but is it time to axe the overtaking aid completely? ✍️ Formula_Nerds debate... Formula1 f1
After a disappointing race in Miami with F1 continuing to grapple with how to improve overtaking, it is time to ask the question: has DRS run its course in F1?DRS is one of the most divisive inventions in F1. Bought in to aid overtaking, it has generated debate since its introduction in 2011. The moveable rear wing allows drivers to close up and pass competitors on track. A car has to be within one second of the car ahead in a designated zone.
The fallout from the race began as the chequered flag fell. Alonso pulled alongside Petrov on the cooldown lap, shaking his fist. A pointless exercise, as the Renault was never going to just wave the Ferrari past. Engine power and parity were further arguments for DRS. Customer engines became normality in 2014 upon the introduction of the current hybrid turbo power units, and at one point, not all power was equal.
While cars are now all similar parity thanks to a ruling from the FIA in 2016, the DRS train has remained. The problem can be exacerbated at tracks like Montreal, where cars have two opportunities to achieve a DRS-related pass. The cars are stuck, and cannot progress. This happened again in, with many cars simply unable to pass. This was also the case in Jeddah unless the car in question is a Red Bull.
