Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen criticized Formula One's DRS overtaking system on Wednesday.
The 2007 World Champion is making a comeback in the sport after a two-year stint in rally racing. Last year, F1 introduced the moveable rear wing system, meant to boost overtaking.
"The way the DRS wings work is for me a little ridiculous," Raikkonen told Germany's Auto Motor und Sport. "Overtaking is not really a great art anymore.
"You just put the wing down and go past easily. The guy in front can't really do anything. But I agree that at least it makes the show better."
Raikkonen was the fastest at testing on Tuesday in Jerez, Spain, and admitted he missed racing in Formula One, although he isn't sick of rallying.
"Actually I'd like to do both but that's not possible," Raikkonen said. "But if you want to race and you have the choice, first you look at Formula One."
