Agree. Frankly it's all "artificial".

I struggle to understand how DRS is not like what bathurst calls out above. Application of throttle, brake and something like DRS are all to be applied at the right moment. Now the detection zone, 1 second rule, etc. you might say are more artificial than throttle or brake. But they (all of them... throttle, brake, DRS) are also tied to the circuit design... which is artificial in itself.

If you can't tell. I think call out just DRS as "artificial" makes little sense to me.
