The Spanish Grand Prix will feature a single drag reduction zone on the main start/finish straight, similar to that of last season.
The detection point will remain between turns 15 and 16 before drivers can activate their rear-wing 750 or so metres before turn one, before braking for the medium speed right-to-left S-bend.
Despite the FIA’s Charlie Whiting earlier confirming an extended zone for the race, by some 50m on 2011, it seems the governing body has reduced it by a similar distance as confirmed by Pastor Maldonado’s race engineer, Xevi Pujolar.
