The Australian Grand Prix venue initially featured two DRS zones at the exit of Turns 2 and 16, triggered by a single detection point upon the entry to Turn 14.

The governing body has added a third zone for this weekend’s curtain-raiser, the detection point of which be located 170 meters before Turn 11 before running through Turn 12 to 13.

    In a nutshell: which tyres for the Australian GP?

Following last year’s event, in which overtaking opportunities were scarce, Melbourne’s promoters contemplated the idea of tweaking the track’s layout around the Turn 11/12 complex.

The new DRS zone is intended to help drivers get closer to a preceding car, and profit from the DRS detection zone that follows before Turn 14.
