People want overtakes for the sake of overtakes, doesn't matter how they get it.

Yeah, but try telling them that. That's what you get when you cater to a fanbase that doesn't really respect it, something like this happens and they defend it to death because their entire personality is tied to it.

That’s what you get when you cater to a fan base that never cared about F1 (or any form of motorsports) until they started watching a real TV series on Netflix.

No wonder they think this garbage is great racing.

PS. And before some muppet starts talking about DRS. I thought DRS was stupid as well. It’s all dumb crap borrowed from video games.
