How does DRS in F1 provide such a boost?

I see it as a small flap that opens up and it speeds up the cars by a large margin. How does something so small like a flap provide that much of a boost?

it’s wild how a tiny flap can make such a big diffrence. it’s all about aerodynamics man. when it opens it reduces drag and allows the car to cut through air better. basically turning it into a supercharged bullet for that moment. kinda like having a turbo on your bike or something. small changes can make huge impacts in racing
