no doubt its a combination of many things, but is this really a rules/car dimension/track design issue rather then an issue concerning the relative performance/speed difference of the teams?

hence why most of the passes we saw this year occurred when a faster car was hamstrung by penalties which put them outside of the natural running order.

this has been a problem for a while now...which is shy they brought in DRS in the first place. to encourage close racing and passes by trying to (artificially) eliminate the performance gap between teams.

maybe a budget cap wont get rid of this problem (not because it cant be enforced but rather because some teams will always be better at spending a fixed amount of money then others) but we have seen different car designs, different tire constructions, different track layouts and the problem yet persists.

HDTVKSS should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
For something controversial - how about an increase in the amount of DRS zones?

anything that constitutes a reasonable a straight with a corner that needs breaks applied at the end could be used. multiple detection points just before the DRS zone in question.

may allow them to follow a little closer and also keep in touch once been passed.

IIRC when they 1st brought in DRS they could use it in qualy wherever they wanted, so there is sort of a precedence for it.

not saying its a good idea, but its an idea.
