Similar to active suspension malfunctions in the early '90s. Remember Burger's Ferrari coming out of the pit at Hungary.

Peralta is a back marker
I guess it's going to take a big accident to ban it. The ironic thing is we don't really need it now that we have Kers and those pirelli tyres.

As long as modern aerodynamics create the amount of turbulence and dirty air that it does they will need to focus on other areas to make the racing closer.

Why not focus on the modern aerodynamics instead?

Exactly. But in the absence of a proper slash in aerodynamic efficiency, the DRS is a nice compensator.

Well hopefully, as is the way of most innovations we see in F1 these days, it will end up being banned after one season.

BBC music

Anyone know what the music was they laid over the 90-second race highlights at the start of the F1 forum? (It's not the music they have now on the BBC Formula 1 site).
