If F1 wants to increase overpass opportunities, they should try a different method of activating DRS.

The first method could be instead of having to be within 1 second of the lead car at the speed trap to enable DRS, go to the Indy car Push To Pass method and give each team a total of 30 seconds, 45 seconds, or a predetermined amount of time appropriate for each track of DRS activation time that can be used at any time.

Then each driver and team can decide when to use DRS to overtake or defend an overtake. This will also allow cars farther back to make up time to catch the leader.

A less radical approach would be to simply raise the gap limit to activate DRS. Instead of a 1 second gap, make it a 2, 3, or 4 second gap.
