Double DRS again? Looks perfect for it.

There was only one DRS zone before, on the long back straight.

Cant remember if it was a very easy pass last year with the DRS or if it wasn;t bad. Hopefully the data they got from last year will help sort that out this season.

Genuinely don't know how this race is gonna go for the midfield teams - its fantastic. Don't know if anyone else has seen this but very interesting.

i expect the gaps between the teams will increase as the season goes on and the front 4 will pull away like last year

3 weeks - a lot could have changed in terms of updates on the cars. More so for the front runners and the top midfield teams.

Data from the first two races is going to be comprimised though because of so much rain affecting the sessions. Had Melbourne been totally dry they would have gotten a lot more solid data to influence future parts.

Indeed - I wondered if they'd open it up to another this year as they did with Melbourne.

FrankJH · 10 Apr 2012 at 14:29

Hopefully get more idea on outright race pace on Sunday for the relevant teams

Really cant wait for this race

Kevin Clark · 10 Apr 2012 at 16:14

Single DRS zone for China. Detection between T12 and T13. Activation halfway down the straight.

Skeeter · 10 Apr 2012 at 16:15

The DRS in China last year was actually pretty good, so the same again would be welcome.

When you hear the noise and see how late they brake and turn into corners, you will be amazed

Let us know how you get on throughout the weekend if possible :cool:
