Drag Reduction System
None the less grand Prix drivers have a new tool at their disposal, the so called Drag Reduction System, DRS. It is essentially an adjustable rear wing which can be used to facilitate overtaking.

What is a DRS zone?
DRS is short for Drag Reduction System, which is a movable flap on the rear wing of an F1 car. Most tracks have one DRS zone, although some have two. The DRS can only be used once a driver has closed to within a second of the car ahead at a specified ‘detection point’ on the circuit.
When did India allow DRS?
DRS was used for the first time in a Twenty20 International in the India–Australia T20I series in October 2017. Under the new ICC rules of November 2017, there would no longer be a top-up of reviews after 80 overs in Test matches, and teams will have only 2 unsuccessful reviews every innings.
Who is allowed to ask for DRS in cricket?

When does umpire review come under Drs in cricket?
Umpire review doesn’t come under DRS: the on-field umpires consult with the third umpire at their discretion to rule, for example, on an inconclusive catch. The decision whether to opt or not opt for DRS comes under player review.
What happens if the umpire calls lbw in cricket?
Therefore, for an lbw decision, if either the impact, the zone where the ball pitched or the projected ball path as it passes the stumps return as umpire’s call, the on-field umpire’s decision (out or not out) will be final. Teams, however, won’t lose their reviews if umpire’s call is involved in the final decision.
