In suzuka drs is worth maybe 0.5s, and on most tracks it's probably less than a second.
I think it's more, mate. There are 2 zones, so it can't be that little. On the race, Hamilton used the drs(on 1 zone only) on his best lap and improved 0.6s over the previous. Over the 2 zones, I reckon it can't be just half a second. Keep in mind that drs is even more effective this year. You increase your speed for around 15km/h over many seconds. Remember when drivers could use drs everywhere? They claimed that drs gave 1.5-2s on most tracks. Now it's a bit less but not much less because they still use it on the main zones, where there is the most gain. If it gave only 0.25s on each zone, then, I guess, overtaking would not be possible

Sorry mate, but if you cant see drs effect on bottas' lap then there's really not much else to discuss. Even the speedo says bottas is 10+ kmh faster.
If that car, miles in front of Bottas, gave him 0.5s, as Hamilton claimed, then drs is worth 1.5s over the 2 zones.
