Remove DRS. We don't need more overtakes, we need more battles. DRS overtakes are boring.
We can remove DRS when dirty air doesn’t destroy tires. Until then it is necessary to replace the overtakes we lose because drivers cannot follow one another through the corners consistently enough to get into the slipstream.
I was hopeful that with the ground effect cars we would see following close enough that DRS wouldn’t be necessary, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case. What I think we need is a smaller DRS wing gap. A less-powerful DRS.
Without DRS, I strongly suspect we would see fewer battles. Not more.
Or we could make the tires more robust?
Then we need refueling. There has to be strategy, or it’s just “whoever is in the lead off the line wins.”
