DRS zones confirmed for F1’s Dutch GP return

The FIA has outlined that there will be two DRS zones available for drivers to utilise at this weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix.

Formula 1 is returning to a renovated and reprofiled Zandvoort this weekend for the first time since 1985, long before DRS was introduced into the championship.

The circuit officially features 14 corners across a length of 4.259km.

The first DRS zone has been placed on the full-throttle section between Turns 10 and 11, with the detection point at the entry of Turn 10.

The second DRS zone has been located along the pit straight with the activation point 30 metres after the exit of Turn 14, meaning DRS will not be permitted through the banked corner.

The detection point for this zone has been placed 15 metres before the apex of Turn 13.

As per usual drivers have free use of DRS in the designated zones during practice and qualifying, and must be within a second of a rival in the race for the device to be activated.
