The FIA has opted to return to the single-DRS (Drag Reduction System) for the British Grand Prix.
The detection zone will be situated 25 metres before turn 3 (Village Corner) and the activation zone, or when the following driver can open his rear-wing, will be 45m after turn 4 (The Loop), meaning the cars will take the medium speed turn 5 (Aintree Corner) with the wing in the open position.
The zone will continue down the Wellington Straight for about 400m before the drivers hit the brakes and deactivate the system.
