Take your foot off the throttle, DRS closes. No need or ability to manually override it.
And shouldn't there be some GPS-enabled detection of the end of the DRS zone on the straight, to prevent any manual override use of DRS outside of the DRS zone?

I think it closes automagically if you tap the brakes, but this first part of the turn is still full beans - at least not on the brakes yet, guess he did not brake and..forgot? Supposedly the previous lap he went thru OK because he did tap the brake pedal.. I agree with you though, the thing should maybe be on a timer, or only on WHILE you push a button, not press button on and off. Hell, I think DRS should be gone altogether.
Crazy fast accident, lucky to be unhurt with modern safety measures..big decel, I am shocked he can see straight ! He may be OK now but would not be surprised to see a replacement driver for the race.
