Typically, DRS zones are on straights, allowing you to reduce the downforce and drag of cars in a stable area, once the car has already exited the corner.
Last year, after the Zandvoort race, everyone was talking about the obvious need to enlarge the DRS zones to facilitate overtaking, but the coastal track is short, there is simply nowhere to expand the DRS zone – and then the FIA u has decided that the second DRS zone is not allowed to start 30 meters after the last 14 corner 13 and 40 meters after turn 13 so that the riders can pass the last corner with open DRS, because they have more speed have reached on the next straight . These changes only apply to Formula 1 – last year’s DRS zones remained in Formula 2 and Formula 3.
The chances of losing the stability of the car on this section are high, especially with the wind gusts typical of the coastal route, and the question of exactly where to activate DRS is up to each driver to decide – depending on the conditions .
“Let someone else try it first,” Daniel Ricciardo said on Thursday. “If DRS can be used in this section without any problems, we will definitely gain speed on the straight. But it is difficult to assess this in advance. Hopefully moving the DRS activation point will escalate the battle in the race.”
