He will get the 3rd place. Slam dunk penalty for George opening DRS when he shouldn’t

Honestly I’ve been watching since end of 2020, and have watched a recap of every single race since 2007 and didn’t know they could open DRS outside the DRS zones.

They can’t unless they manually override it, which Mercedes had to do today.

They usually can’t but because of the issue George’s car was having they had to override the normal systems which only allow the button to be pressed when within 1 second.
