They all have DRS spoilers.
The point is when they are being allowed to use it, or not.
DRS is essentially nothing more than an unfair advantage to the rider in pursuit.
He can kill his drag and overtake the leader, while the leader is simply not allowed to reduce his drag likewise.
It's like dueling with one of the duelists not being allowed to have a round in the chamber.
Not exactly my idea of fair sports.
Part of the game is denying a faster rider the opportunity to overtake.
IIRC we've already had a double DRS overtake as well - a stick of three cars following each other with only the aft two allowed to use DRS.
Guess what happened to the unlucky guy at the point of the stick ...
