Drivers will use the Medium and Hard compounds this weekend.
Two DRS zones this year: on the pit straight and on the final straight. Each DRS zone will have its own detection point. The new DRS zone will have its detection point in the middle of the high-speed turns 12 and 13. Drivers will be able to activate DRS 104 metres after Turn 14.
The configuration of the other DRS zone has been changed. The detection point was previously 207 metres before the final corner, but for this year it is in the corner itself, positioned 16 metres after the apex. The activation point has been moved back 23 metres from where it was last year.
So this year, theres the possibility of a driver making a DRS pass in one zone and then having to defend from a DRS pass in the next zone.
