Zandvoort gets longer DRS zone at last banked corner

There was uncertainty for a long time about whether or not to extend the DRS zone up to the banked Arie Luyendyk curve at Circuit Zandvoort, but with one week to go until the Dutch Grand Prix, the decision has been made. The FIA has given the green light and so the Formula 1 drivers are allowed to open their DRS before the final corner.

Nikolas Tombazis, head of single seaters at the FIA, has given a clarification on the issue in conversation with Viaplay. "The current idea is to have the DRS zone start before the last corner," said Tombazis. "But we are keeping all options open and listening to the feedback from the teams. If there is any danger, we will change it after the first practice."
