DRS Ban for 2013

It's been revealed by F.I.A Race Director this weekend that the unlimited use of DRS in Practice and Qualifying is to be banned for 2013. The decision comes a a seemingly harmonious one, with drivers and officials alike citing safety concerns  as the primary motive behind the move.
For me, this new stance on DRS brings with it a mix of opinion. Of course, as has become the focus of the governing body ever since Ayrton Senna's death in 1994, safety has been the primary concern beyond and above all others within the sport, and this move almost certainly continues that principle.
 However, are we now getting to a point in Formula One where the very mentioning of 'safety concern' sets alarm bells ringing in the heads of the sports big-wigs, almost unnecessarily? The use of the Drag-Reduction System is of course, entirely driver dependant. It isn't something that is forced upon the 24 drivers in the sport, it is instead up something that up until next season, a manner of pushing the limits of a Formula One car, in the hands of 24 drivers who are praised and renound for being the 24 finest of their kind in the world.
The basic principle, and the thing that prevents Qualifying from being a bore from a fans point of view, is seeing car and driver dicing with the absolute ragged edge of speed, low fuel, new rubber, maximum revs, and all that jazz. Under that umbrella also comes DRS, as each driver seeks to extract  the very last tenth of a second from a lap by using the system as much as possible. That now, has gone, and I feel it can only be seen as an avoidable shame.
Im not for one minute neglecting safety as a vital matter in Motor-Sport, as it is clearly something that needs maximum attention. The introduction of raised cockpits a few years back for example, was a simple one I felt was fantastic, and easily a potential life saver. But with the ban of F-Ducts two seasons ago and now this limitation of another passive system in the form of DRS-usage in Qualifying in Practice, I feel we're stepping over the line of what is needed and acceptable in the name of changes in the name of safety.
It isn't the first time that safety has perhaps gone a step too far, and im sure as we become ever more paranoid and on edge about such concerns in the 21st century, it wont be long. Stay tuned for the next batch of nanny-style safety interventions, coming soon to a sport near you.
