Drag Reduction System, where if you are within a second of the car in front of you, you can push a button and open up the rear wing, to reduce drag and give you extra speed down the straight. AKA artificial racing ;)

I've been following F1 since 1980, and, to be honest, Albert Park is probably one of the more boring circuits on the calendar. Adelaide was a much better track. The new changes may make it better, idk....Just my opinion...

Just artificial overtaking, in my opinion, although people apparently like lots of passing...

@AUmarcus I get that that’s the official line, but the mere fact that the car behind can get to within 1 second behind the one in front, just to activate it, and then gain 10-15 km/h down the straight, suggests to me that it’s a bit artificial. Especially this year, when the cars were totally redesigned to allow them to follow closely. It’s become a bit of a farce, we are now seeing the car in front slow dramatically at the detection point, so that the car behind can pass, and they will then have DRS down the straight to pass them back again

@AUmarcus Not really, safety cars can cause it, or it could just be that the car behind has been there from the start. Could be different tyre strategy, whatever. I'm probably a bit old school, having followed F1 since 1980. Have to agree to disagree I think. I don't really get how a "Faster car" deserves a leg up, tbh...

@AUmarcus Yes, as I've said, I've followed F1 since 1980...
