Webbers post race interview was interesting saying that it's not real racing when the car in front can't defend due to bad tyres and drs.

While that is probably true we saw what happened with no DRS/KERS/Fast-wearing tyres last year.Webbers post race interview was interesting saying that it's not real racing when the car in front can't defend due to bad tyres and drs.
I think its more real racing now.
If you're quicker, you can get close - but you never could get past, as the "wake" off the back of the cars kept you off their gearbox. Slower cars stayed ahead of faster ones. That's not racing!
This way, a nudge of KERS and a DRS lets you get past. BUT if you're not really quicker, the car you just passed will close you back down, and do the same to you.
The new tyres, on the otherhand, do mean that everyone has a load of different phases when they can attack, when they must preserve, and when they must defend.
It does seem like its a bit tough to defend though. But that's for the tactics people to work out - which I'm SURE they will. Webber made an enormous statement today.

er er er the complaint was not enough overtaking not , not enough defending of overtaking opportunitiesKers is fine as all drivers can use this (RBR apart)I just don't like drs if the driver behind is allowed to use it then the defending driver should be allowed more than one move on the straight.
Kers is fine as all drivers can use this (RBR apart)I just don't like drs if the driver behind is allowed to use it then the defending driver should be allowed more than one move on the straight.

That would be dangerous though, which is why they have that rule. You don't want to cars slamming into eachother at 200mph.
The whole point in DRS is to let people overtake and then prove they are actually the faster car - because if you're not, next lap, they will re-drs your ass.
Absolutely f***ing excellent race that. Great drive from Lewis, but Webber was OUTSTANDING.
Pity Di Resta was born just outside the civilised world.
