Not really.

> Z-mode means the front and rear wings are closed which generates more downforce for the corners. In X-mode, the drivers can open the flaps which will reduce drag and increase speed.

The problem with DRS is the zones and only being able to use it when close behind another car. My understanding is the X-Mode can be used pretty much anywhere and anytime.

Sure, but it's no longer about a gap to the car in front.
