Overtaking is the continual focal point of current F1. Because overtaking has been a challenging strategy game for most of F1’s history, much of the 2022 rule framework was devised and built expressly to facilitate overtaking and close racing. F1 adopted DRS in 2011, which may only be used in pre-determined zones and under particular situations. DRS is responsible for the majority of the spectacular overtakes witnessed in the previous 11 years. According to Motorsport.com, F1 aims to make DRS accessible for sprint races one lap early.
