• Ok so I finally understand DRS โ€” can someone check my understanding?

    So DRS opens the rear wing to reduce drag on straights but only works within 1 second of the car ahead? And it only works in designated zones? And the point is to help overtaking? I think I get it now. What I don't get is why they limit where it can be used. Seems like it'd be cleaner to just allow it everywhere?
