Say you are in the lead of a race and there is like two laps remaining, and you have someone close behind. Like Max and Lando. Has it ever happened, or has anyone ever considered letting someone pass them on the second to last lap, with the expectation that they would have DRS on the last lap and get the lead back and win?

    I’m not sure that anyone would do this on purpose, because the risk is too high that DRS won’t be enough on the next lap. Track position is more important than DRS. We’ve all seen cars struggle to get the pass done even with DRS.
