I just want a clarification.
I noticed that using boost together with DRS (for some part of the DRS zone) makes possible to overtake a car also boosting, maybe because of the better acceleration.
Is this behavior intended or is it a bug? Because the cars "bounces" when doing so and doesn't seem consistent.

Boost and DRS each provide temporary boosts to a car's acceleration. These boosts stack.
However they do not allow to you exceed the simulator's cap of 350 km/h (217.48 mph) so when already at this cap neither will make the car faster- it cannot accelerate any more.
This might be what leads to the behaviour you see- cars accelerating to the speed cap sooner but then not being able to pass properly as their extra speed wears off and both cars travel at identical speeds.
