Micheal Schumacher's DRS had a mistake in Monaco GP

[owenpcf1]

DRS is unable to use before 3 lap in Monaco but Shumi'DRS was open in lap2 after pass the turn 1 where DRS is also forbiden. FIA may now this ,but why they do not do something?

[ESPImperium]

Same as Alonso in China.

He retired from Monaco, and the problem had happened before. Why cry about spilt milk.

Forget and look forward.

[owenpcf1]

because I rewatch the vedio now and find it by accident

[SchumacherM]

Troll away.

The problem with Alonso's DRS in China was a software glitch with race control. Hardly the driver's fault. Most likely it is the same here.

Besides, Schumacher's car died during the race so what is the point in the FIA doing anything assuming it wasn't a software glitch with race control?

I saw Webbers open when it shouldn't have been as well...I think they have a problem with this silly devise.

[MrBlacky]

As I remember there were actually some cases where Schumis DRS was open in Cananda?

Yes, after it was enabled...

[LegendaryM]

its closed in that picture...

[bgroovers]

DRS?Troll away.

Or maybe someone just trying to hi-light a continuing problem with DRS... Not everyone is trying to provoke others when they see something they feel is of interest!

Well if you folks herd the team radio in Canada, ROb Smedley was advising Massa to use DRS only after the activation zone.

Pressing the button before the zone would possibly not active it for some period of time.

Again, as FIA have said, DRS is a work in progress and only in Canada they had dual activation zone. I hope we do see a dual detection zone in places like Monza.

You just reminded me of something that was mentioned in the Radio 5 commentary by Karun Chandhok. Pressing the button too early can delay the activation of the DRS by about 1 second apparently.

How is a driver notified?? Does it show up on display on the steering wheel? like a knob lighting up?? Or do they deploy it after a reasonable time after passing the line?

Would it not be hard for drivers to actually see the detection line at 200kmph??(maybe at night/evening) conditions?
or am I missing something basic here?
Cheers

There is a light on the steering wheel.

They see the rev limiter lights.

They see the rev limiter lights.

Do they? The drivers got beeps in their ears for when its time to change gear*.
