The drag-reduction zone for the Japanese Grand Prix will be along the start/finish line at Suzuka, and will feature just the single zone.
Detection will be just after the famous 130R corner which is taken flat-out. The corner follows on from a long straight, giving cars a chance to slip-stream one another to close the gap to a second as they cross the detection line after turn 15.
Drivers can then activate their rear-wing as they exit turn 18 along the main start/finish straight before braking into turn one.
