Jacques Villeneuve hates DRS, the much heralded driver-operated rear wing aerodynamic gizmo created to produce a burst of extra speed to promote more overtaking. The 1997 world champion, famed in his driving days as an heroic mechanically unassisted overtaker - and for speaking his mind - says the current 'any-idiot-can-do-it' ease of overtaking puts him to sleep. Nor does JV care about the complex acronymanic gestation of DRS...
A brainwave of the OWG (Overtaking Working Group) - a branch of the TRWG (Technical Regulations Working Group) consisting of some high tech boffins from FOTA (Formula One Teams'Association) - the DRS (Drag Reduction System) was known variously as MRW (Moveable Rear Wing), ARW (Adjustable Rear Wing) and RFA (Rear Flap Adjuster), before the FIA (Federation Internationale de L'Automobile) last year officially designated it DRS. Previously, an experiment with APE (Artificial Performance Enhancers) in the form of DAB (Driver Adjustable Bodywork) called FFA (Front Flap Adjuster) was a flop.
