Maybe they they think it will encourage people to setup the gearing different, seemed like last year especially the
Redbulls was geared to be fast without DRS, when they tried to use DRS to overtake they ran out of RPMs
I see that this is their line of thought, i just don't agree with it, imo DRS is at it's best as a minor boost, when it works too good it screw things up.

I would welcome less powerfull DRS.

Maybe they should have different sized openings for different tracks. I mean, places like the Spa Monza Sepang China are massive straights and only a small opening DRS would be about right, where as Barcelona Suzuka and Hungary the DRS doesnt seem as effective so a larger opening could be better. If this doesnt work for what ever reason, just have the DRS zones (at the tracks harder to pass) earlier on the straights instead of just adding more zones.

I guess the DRS is still in early stages in the scheme of things, and in my opinion, 2012 was better than 2011. So maybe all these changes for 2013 will be better. We will have to wait and see.
