EA SPORTS FC™ TeamHey @dotazured,
We have checked this report and this is working as designed. F2 cars do not have a visual indicator for the DRS Zone that is reflected in the game for the cockpit view.
Thanks again for raising this to us!

This was also by design in last year's game, and we don't plan to change this for the cockpit view.-rephii
This might not been a feature in last years game, but it is still something that is inaccurate and has been present in previous games before that.
I guess this is due to the way Codemasters seem to develop their games in a tick-tock manner and thus inadvertently backporting bugs into games.
It's a great shame that Codemasters create minor bugs, and feature regressions like these and are not willing to fix them.

@EA_rephii The same behaviour was present in F1 2020, so unless the developers purposefully and actively removed the feature (why would this be done in the first place?) and thus cause the game to become less playable, this is a bug and unintended behaviour.
I just want to emphasis that while this might been a behaviour in F1 22, it should not have be the intended behaviour and that the bug seem to have been ported from F1 22 into F1 23.

Please fix.
EA SPORTS FC™ TeamHey @dotazured,
This indeed might have worked in games previous to F1 22. Sorry, if this answer might not satisfy you, but this is considered as designed and there won't be DRS indicators for F2 cars for the cockpit camera.
