Personally I think the DRS implementation is just too complicated. Either get rid of it or allow its use to be unrestricted throughout the race, just like in qualifying.

, you being one of the most anti-DRS pre-season at least have got to admit, that it has been implemented rather well, and it a great idea, How can you not?Personally I think the DRS implementation is just too complicated.

That's my vote. I mean the unrestricted use... not the get rid of it.
That'd be dangerous wouldn't it. Drivers have to concentrate on their lap during qualifying and already say there's too much time spent looking at the steering wheel.
Racing, along with unrestricted usage of DRS? You'll get Jenson running over the Redbull mechanics next instead of just entering their pitbox.

You didnt even need to mention that overtaking will be non existant!That'd be dangerous wouldn't it. Drivers have to concentrate on their lap during qualifying and already say there's too much time spent looking at the steering wheel.

He probably wouldn't of even found the pits
to have it unlimited in a race would defeat its purpose, the car in front would use it to defend and the car behind would have no way past still. I think give it time to get past the bugs.

I think Jenson was guilty of Texting and Driving. I'm sure Jessica Michibata just got him at the wrong time.

The speed differential wouldn't be too great if both drivers are using it, and they already allow it for use when drivers are close behind, thats more or less when the biggest risk in using it is.
In qualifying they already use the DRS, doesn't seem especially hazardous so far.
From what I understand of the DRS system; it is controlled by the FIA as and when it sees fit; neither team nor driver can activate it outside the DRS activation zone, so the most lightly explanation is a software bug; it is new technology after-all; their will be inevitable bugs in the system, I believe Ferrari to be innocent in this instance!
Yes the DRS has a zone set for the race which is controlled by the FIA, and activated within 1 second of the car in front. Similar thing to the timing transponder i would say. Alonso's zone started 300m to the hairpin instead of 750m and continued after the hairpin for another 300m or so. The driver only knows when the DRS is activated when the light flashes in his car so he can then push the button to activate the wing. It doesn't open on its own that would just be ludicrously dangerous.
