He thinks the rules for the moveable wing -- called the drag reduction system, or D.R.S. -- are simple.
The sport recently introduced a "drag reduction system" in which a driver can open a rear wing, making it a bit easier to accelerate and pass.
"When D.R.S. is working well and the driver at the beginning of the activation zone has got close enough to do it cleanly, it works perfectly," said Whiting, referring to the drag reduction system, the technology to promote overtaking.
The Mercedes wing contains slots on the inside of the endplates that are opened when the driver-activated drag reduction system (DRS) is used for extra speed within defined zones to aid overtaking.
4) Control aerodynamics The introduction of the drag reduction system (DRS) enables a car close behind another to stall its rear wing and thus generate greater speed so that it can overtake.
This year, tires that wear out more quickly and new regulations that provide drivers with power-boost buttons and moveable rear wings — known as a drag reduction system, or DRS — for further speed boosts have ensured wild and frequent overtaking at many tracks that had previously produced sleepy processional races.
It controls the powertrain and DRS (drag reduction system), acting as a car's primary data system.
Although many investigations on the drag reduction by microbubbles have been conducted, a general mechanism guiding the design of the drag reduction system has not been achieved yet.
The other big addition this season, the drag reduction system (basically, the rear wing folds away, allowing more air to pass through), didn't seem to have a big impact, either.
The combination of the degrading tyres, Kers (kinetic energy recovery system), and DRS (drag reduction system) rear wing overtaking aid has created much more wheel-to-wheel action, which people have craved for years.
Button, making good use of McLaren's effective Drag Reduction System, picked his way through the pack before forcing an error from race leader Sebastian Vettel just before the end of the race.
