I definitely think drivers should be able to overtake. I used to be into Nascar (but not so much lately), but on the Super Speedways they always talked about the slingshot effect they could get from drag. Not sure why but they don't talk about that as much in F1.
But my feelings are mixed about the DRS. In a way, it just doesn't seem fair. If one car (behind) should get it, why don't both cars get it. Sure, I like passing, but I don't want to see it go back and forth on every lap. That gives too much to "playing with position strategy" rather than the best driver/team wins.
I do sure hope Red Bull keeps up their front-runner status with Honda backing off of their support. Apparently they're starting a multi-year process where they're giving all their F1 engine technology to Red Bull (but not sure "giving" is the right word). Apparently, in a couple of years, it'll just be the Red Bull / Red Bull team (with them actually manufacturing their own engines).
