The FIA's Nikolas Tombazis says removing DRS from Formula 1 would be 'a risk for the sport' as the deadline for the 2026 regulations looms. Formula1 f1
FIA official Nikolas Tombazis has said to remove DRS “would be a risk for the sport” despite complaints from within and outside of the paddock.
The system can only be deployed in designated areas of a Formula 1 circuit and only when one car is within one second of another driver ahead. Four-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel, who drove in the pre-DRS era, has been a vocal critic of the system including last year when he suggested cars can now only overtake while using DRS.
“I’m only a bit cautious for the DRS, because it was brought in as an assistance to help overtaking, but now it feels a bit like it’s the only thing that allows you to overtake at times.”
