All good points above. I tend to think that DRS was an easy "fix" (if you can call it a fix) to the lack of passing. I think any benefit to spectating along the something like the main straight was an unintended, but likely positive benefit.

Probably just enough to prevent the stands from looking empty on TV. But that can be somewhat addressed by ensuring that the TV director (controlled by FOM right?) knows not to show much in the way of empty stands during the event.
