The subject has been in the spotlight since the Baku weekend, where there was relatively little passing over the sprint and Sunday's race.
Several drivers blamed the shortened DRS zone in Azerbaijan. However, there is also a bigger picture of it becoming progressively more difficult for cars to follow as teams have developed their aero packages under the regulations that were introduced at the start of 2022.
In addition, the current breed of machinery creates a smaller slipstream effect than their predecessors.

Steiner insisted that the series has to address the subject and find out why there is less passing than was expected with the new rules.
"I think we need to start to look at why overtaking is more difficult," he said. "Maybe it has to do with the change of the floor from last year to this year.
"Maybe it has to do only because everybody has more downforce now that makes it always worse to follow. It could be a combination.
"What we need to be careful that we're not turning the regulations around again in August for next year, because that then is quite annoying because you put a lot of money and development into a car and then 'oh, now we need to change or we change now or we don't change'.
"Or not now, in the near future. Obviously, it needs to come up on the table and needs to be talked about, not try to push it away, as if nothing happened."
When asked about following becoming harder, Steiner said recent complaints from teams up and down the grid have underlined that the difficulties don't reflect on individual car designs.
