The FIA will return to a single-DRS zone for the Singapore Grand Prix, despite successfully trialling two independent zones in Monza a week ago.
The nature of the Marina Bay circuit, which features 23 corners, the second highest on the calendar after Valencia, and very little in the way of long straights, means a single-zone was the only option.
The detection point will be after turn three, just before turn four, Pastor Maldonado’s race engineer, Xevi Pujolar, confirmed.
Drivers can then activate their drag-reducing rear-wing as they exit the apex of turn five, giving them a speed advantage through the gentle kink which is turn six, before braking into turn seven.
