When you’re in a pack of a bunch of lapped cars, does it slow you down? Obviously the DRS you get may help your laptime, but does the dirty air affect still affect you from cars your lap(s) ahead of?

Yes, the dirty air of lapped cars does affect and slow down the own car. With a good speed advantage the own car will plough through the cars quickly and the effect is barely noticable, but fresh out of the pits fighting against an overcut a bunch of relatively light and fast lapped cars ahead is definitely not a welcome sight. ?
