Anyway I digress

DRS was initially a means to solve a problem, drivers not be able to overtake, not a gimmick but it has become one. However, what has been a gimmick from the outset are the sprint races. Today's sprint shoot out is a good example of what you are talking about regarding show business.


That's enough digression.
