Definitely not a magic bullet, but it certainly helped to keep Charles behind Piastri, the former not able to pass the latter with DRS.

I think that was mainly down to racecraft. Jolyon Palmers analysis is quite good to boil it down. But obviously the car is quick!

Yes, definitely, but I also heard Charles complaining during an interview that he wasn't able to keep up with Oscar's speed in the straights with DRS.
