That's where KERS and DRS kick in to give the lie to Newtonian motion.

Unlike thixotropic fluids, nothing about either of the above
two begin to contradict or violate the laws of the latter. ;^)

The car behind is faster.
DRS doesn't bother me as much as it bothers some folks. The chasing
driver has had to get to within one second of the car in front of him,
so he's had to have been fast enough to close the gap down anyway. Now
he just gets some help in the area which used to be problematic -
having to go through the dirty air to pass the car that you'd chased
down.

Do you have to have a faster car to close down a gap?

If you have been watching a few races lately, or in the last 20 years,
you will quickly realise that you have made a faux pas.
