Formula 1 bosses could consider banning the DRS system for the Eau Rouge corner at the upcoming Belgian Grand Prix this weekend.
The famous corner on the Spa track is a difficult high speed section of the circuit, which could be a safety risk if combined with the DRS system, which has been used by drivers this season.
DRS increases the speed of the car by reducing downforce by 10% and is used by most drivers on the long straights.
However the technology could be used for the Eau Rouge to boost lap times and this has been highlighted as a risk to racers at the meeting this weekend.
Red Bull driver Mark Webber believes it may be a dangerous place to come off the track if the DRS system is used incorrectly.
The Australian racer said: "Irrespective of how comfortable it is, that's still an amazing sensation, and you need total concentration to make sure the car is positioned correctly - it's three kinks that you need to line up and get right.
"You really don't want to be going off there, even with the increased safety we have these days."

The journalists should ask the question to Hamilton, not Webber! The answer will be different, and better for the show!
