Not only does DRS make overtaking too easy, it enables overtaking for the wrong reasons. Overtaking should be possible because your car is the faster or you're the better driver, not because your DRS is enabled and the other chap's isn't. That isn't cricket, and it certainly defies any definition of "racing" I am acquainted with.
But let's drop the curtain and admit what this is really about: Vettel. Vettel uses DRS to better effect in qualies than everyone else, even than his own teammate. Claims that this is a matter of driver safety are laughable; the accelerator pedal works both ways, and the DRS does not activate itself. If a driver puts himself at risk by exceeding the limits of his skill, that is the consequence of his poor judgment, not of the rear wing.
