Not in every case. At some circuits, it did what it was meant to do. I.e. make passing possible instead of easy or impossible. I'm all for it in those situations.

Yep. When it cancels out the dirty air disadvantage (and only that) it's all good with me too. On top of that for me it adds an interesting technical aspect to the cars' design and gives quali laps a whole new dimension.

Shame they haven't properly fine tuned it yet but next season i expect the intended results will be evident as they now have the data from each race to work with. This is why it sometimes annoys me that people are bagging on it so ferociously, because doing that is jumping the gun a bit at this stage.

Oh absolutely, I've lost count of the amount of times I've been telling people to cool down on the DRS-bashing. This is only its first season and new discoveries are still being made in order to fine-tune it. It'll be fine once folk know a bit more about it.

Well I guess Ive jumped the gun. But I still thinking they're messing about with gimmicks. If they really want overtaking drop the excessive aero and the rubbish tracks

The tracks are just fine (with the exception of the street circuits). it's the cars that are teh real problem.

Yes I said the cars as well. But the crap tracks exagerate the problem. Compare Spa without DRS to Valencia or Catalunya without DRS.

The crap tracks are a minority. Watch the MotoGP races at the Tilke tracks and the tracks are pretty good. Remove teh over reliance on aero and F1 will be well on its way to being cured.
