Someone recently posted a video of Hamilton and Alonso trying to drop back behind each other just before the DRS detection line.
A Similar thing happened in India, Hamilton was behind Raikkonen and could have passed him but chose not to because then both Raikkonen and Perez wold be behind him in the DRS zone with DRS and himself without DRS. Prompting the commentator to say something like "he doesn't want to overtake him yet"
What is your opinion on this style of racing? Personally I struggle to even call that racing and think the top comment of that video says it all "Gilles Villeneuve would turn in his grave...."
I mentioned this to my parents and they both said it was tactical and they liked it....
But I just don't see that as real racing myself, what are your opinions on this?
I predicted this sort of thing happening in 2011: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A84707148
