Hopefully Williams can keep this up in qualifying and race.

That stadium section doesn't look like it's a lot of fun to drive...

It really doesn't. It makes these cars look clumsy.

These single seat race cars have a wheelbase 104mm longer than an Maybach S-Class. Doesn't feel quite right.

How does the DRS detection work with the 3 zones but only 2 mentioned detection spots?

I already checked a different circuit map and it's the same there with 2-3.

[–] Gsicht 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I suppose you get DRS in zones 1 and 2 when you're within 1 second at DRS detection 2.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Yup, that's correct! Same with Australia, probably others too.

Scary session for Ferrari. Somehow a reprimand doesn't seem like the right punishment for dangerous impeding, but more than likely that's what we'll see.

Hopefully quali won't be a shit show but I'm not hopeful.
