   What I don't understand is why the talking heads keep insisting that   
   low-drag mode is completely, utterly, entirely different than DRS. From   
   what I understand, it's only different in that it can be used no matter   
   how close or far the driver in front is, and that the front wing also   
   opens up. And yet Alex and Alex keep banging on about how totally   
   different it is.   
      
   I suppose it is probably a good sign if that's the most tiresome thing   
   so far :D
