This device probably will judge the FIA is a violation.
However, since it was invented as much as possible, it is posted on this page.

This idea is a photo that was posted in a magazine I read in my dream while I was sleeping.

It was a photo that turned on DRS when Mercedes overtook another car.
At that time, the rear wing was three pieces!



(DRS off. 2 wings)


(DRS on. The wing becomes three pieces)

The main element is divided in the front and back.
When DRS is off, front and rear main elements are integrated.
When DRS is turned on, the main element on the front side and the main element on the rear side are separated from each other to form three wings.
When DRS is on, rear side main element is lifted by flap with swan neck.

If this method is legal, there is a possibility that the air flow of the rear wing can be made to flow horizontally when DRS is turned on, so that the air resistance can be reduced.

The aerodynamic designer would then ask for optimization of the airflow condition when DRS is on and off.
They will have to think about three different wing curvatures and lengths in various patterns.
(In such a case, the quantum computer would be very useful.)

But at any time, FIA's technical regulation will state that the upper elements of the rear wing are two.(Probably) If so, this device will not appear on the track.

However, that magazine I saw in my dreams was fun!
