But just being quicker doesn’t guarantee that the driver deserves to be ahead, because they have been put behind for some reason (maybe a different strategy or poor qualifying) and to make up for that the driver has to make an overtake, which requires skill and racecraft and is part of Formula 1 just like raw speed. This element of race craft would be more important if DRS were to be scrapped.
