How to turn on DRS in F1 22?

F1 22 is the latest entry in the F1 series led by developer Codemasters. Now, F1 fans can feel closer than ever before to what it's like to drive some of the fastest cars in the world.

F1 22 fans will likely find themselves getting used to the game's new features, mechanics and feel, and how the cars handle it. If this poses a problem for some players, they may consider enabling (or disabling) Assists. These are systems deployed to offer light assistance in one way or another, much like how first-person shooters use aiming aid.

Fortunately, Assists are completely optional. Experienced players don't have to use them if they can drive well without them. On the other hand, new players (and some experienced ones) will definitely have a better racing experience when using certain Assists, and DRS Assistant is such a useful feature. The DRS feature can be found in the main menu. Here's how F1 22 players can enable DRS Assist in-game.

Players can turn on DRS Assist in the main menu of F1 22

To turn on DRS Assist in F1 22, players will need to access the Assists menu. Here's where you'll find it:

Step 1: Pause the game. If you are in the main menu, you can start with the next step.

Step 2: Go to 'Settings' in the main menu or the pause menu.

Step 3: When the 'Settings' menu opens, you will see the 'Assists' tab. Choose.

Step 4: Find and highlight DRS Assist. You'll find it near the bottom of the list.

Step 5: Use the slider to enable (or disable) DRS Assist.

For the uninitiated, DRS stands for Drag Reduction System. This comes in the form of a rear wing that can give the player's car slightly more speed (going straight) when lowered. So ideally, F1 22 players will activate their DRS when approaching another car and can use this speed boost to gain an advantage that can help them overtake their opponent.

This is because players can only use DRS at certain points during races in F1 22. There are certain sections in green on the map and these are DRS zones. Another prerequisite is being close to another vehicle. When both requirements are met, players can activate their DRS and gain a speed advantage.

Whether it is enabled or disabled is entirely up to the player and their abilities. Once the DRS setting is enabled, it will be activated automatically and players will never have to think about it again. However, depending on the game mode, it may be best to leave it to manual and learn how to use it effectively.

There is more control over the vehicle when DRS is adjusted manually and this setting also contributes to the level of immersion. The decision about when to use DRS is left to the player rather than letting the game automatically enable the feature and potentially ruining the driver's plans.
