While it seems a bit contrived, it sure is livening up the racing! DRS seems the most contrived, whereas the degrading tire scheme is fairly interesting. Though it makes pit strategy more critical, something they tried to remove from the equation when eliminating refueling.

There is definitely more of that "passing in the pits" happening again, due to the tire strategy, but it does keep the race interesting.

I don't get DRS, though. Or rather, I don't get the rules for it. If 5 cars in a train are within a second of each other, do 4 of them get to use DRS? Or just the last guy? Or none? The rules sound like 4 would get to, but I've yet to see more than one car hit DRS in a line of cars. It also seems sort of unfair to get steamrolled by a train of 4 cars, vs one that you can try to re-pass.
