Azerbaijan Grand Prix: Track changes and DRS zones

      On the eve of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, the FIA outlined changes to the circuit and confirmed the locations of two DRS zones.

      Compared with last year, new asphalt has been laid on many sections of the track: from Turn 2 to Turn 4, mainly on the left-hand side of the track; on the left-hand side before Turn 4; between Turns 7 and 8 on the left-hand side; at Turn 12 on the right-hand side; between Turns 14 and 15 on the left-hand side; and on the left-hand side at Turn 18.

      Compared with last year, the DRS zones have not changed. The detection point for the gap between cars before the first DRS zone coincides with the second safety-car line, and the system can be used 54 metres after Turn 2.

      The detection point for the second DRS zone is at the apex of Turn 20, and the system can be activated 347 metres after the turn.
