DRS has been around for a good while now, and we all know how it works.
So after all this time, what have Red Bull found after all these years that no-one else has, that gives them a massive advantage under DRS? I thought I heard someone say 20mph over the rest of the field.
Not accusing RB of anything underhand here, just genuinely interested in what they might be doing, that no-one else is.

Gary Anderson has some thoughts on this his latest thoughts on The Race.
"The straightline speed of the Red Bull RB19, particularly with the DRS open, was a big talking point at Formula 1’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. As Lewis Hamilton put it, “I don’t know why or how, but he came past me with serious speed”.
The DRS, which I’m no fan of because I want to see racing being racing, often makes it impossible to defend so it’s no surprise Hamilton was amazed when Max Verstappen breezed past him carrying a speed advantage of 33-34km/h on the run to Turn 1 during the race. That’s led some to question whether Red Bull might be doing something sneaky to achieve this, but it’s all just part and parcel of having a very efficient car."
33-34kmh!
