DRS is one of many artificial devices that have been introduced to F1 in a bid to make it more appealing to the customers who watch it. Anything that interferes with the racing after the flag drops and is not initiated by the driver is in fact an enhancer and should not be there and that includes tyre pit stops and DRS. Tyre pit stops could be managed to make them a dubious decision to take if they were voluntary by making them longer by regulation than a lap time decided before the race. That would put the pitting car in an unknown place when it returns to the field but even that is an artificial enhancement of what should be a race decided by the car and driver. This should be the pinnacle of car design and driver skill but that is not happening and never will. The pinnacle of motor sport? I don't think so.
