F1 DRS Explained: What is Drag Reduction System and how does it work?
The Drag Reduction System (DRS) was introduced in 2011 in Formula 1 to enhance overtaking and make the sport more exciting. It is designed to reduce aerodynamic drag on the car, allowing the driver to open a flap on the rear wing and create a temporary speed boost on certain parts of the track. This gives the following car an opportunity to pass the leading car. The DRS has been instrumental in creating more thrilling races by encouraging closer battles and increased overtakes. It adds an element of strategy for the drivers as they strategically plan when to activate the system during a race.
