I agree with that. It's just too dangerous without a wide and long enough passing zone, through if there is one it would be the start straight. But it's just not long enough .. it would only an invite to crashing.
Haven't read the regs, but I think that in Monza DRS will be used but in a different way than on any other circuit - Wing will be in it's default, almost horizontal position on straights and high speed corners, but activated (wing's angle increased for more DF) while breaking for turn 1 and trough it, in both Lesmo 1 and 2, in Variante Ascari and perhaps even in Parabolica.

Isn't the tunnel in Monaco taken easily flat nowadays? If yes, the DRS could be activated in the tunnel to overtake to happen at the chicane.

:lol: This thread was born out of alleged off-topic talk in the R31 thread. With the recent DRS chat, this illegitimate child is about to bear its very own child: "DRS usage in Monaco"

*waits for Mx to arrive on the scene* :wink:

FEE gives big advantage in traction, i belive that teams agree with RB solution just because FEE is not possible to adapt during the season

I think it is possible, but too risky and complicated without additional testing in season.
