Is it just me or does anyone else think this was all just done so the other teams could get the blueprint of how the system works!
They know it creates a stall effect on the front wing thus reducing grip to both the front and rear when the DRS was enabled, just not 100% certain how.
The fact an appeal has been lodged means the design specs must be made available so the others could start work on the design.
Personally i think the advantages are minimal (except for qualie) and it`s been a hullabaloo over something clever. Innovation in F1 seems to be on a downward spiral
That's exactly why they do it, as many pundits have said previously.
