Damn that happened fast. Did the DRS flap not close?

If not, is this the only DRS zone on the calendar to go into a full throttle corner? Maybe Imola T1? I can't think of any others

Yeah he should have closed the DRS manually with his thumb but didn't try to do that until it was too late

Silverstone t1? Don't remember if ground effect cars can do it

Edit: there was also that corner in sochi that required manually closing drs as you moved left and started braking

Yeah, I believe they are flat there. I guess there is a little DRS zone on the main straight? I can't even remember outside the 2 important ones
