Is this flex or a button? The name active makes it sound like a button the drivers can press?

DRS is being replaced by two systems:

Push-to-pass hybrid boost
X-Mode, where drivers can open front and rear flaps to boost straight line speed.

Isn't this just a double DRS then?

[–] Jacob93@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Mostly, but everyone will be able to use it so the car being chased will also have the new DRS. I don’t think they’ve announced if there will be track sections where it’s allowed / not allowed.

So they can use it on the first lap as well? That might be interesting when the cars are so bunched up.

[–] Jacob93@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Yeah I think so. The push to pass system is the DRS replacement whereas the active aero is now just a part of the cars.
