FIA announces single DRS zone for the Hungarian Grand Prix
The FIA has decided to place the DRS zone on the main start-finish straight at the Hungaroring for this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix.
Although the governing body has been considering using multiple zones at some venues this year, it has elected to stick with a single area on the tight-and-twisty Budapest circuit.
The DRS zone will start 70 metres after the apex of the final corner, with the detection point being just ahead of the entry to the last turn.
The Hungaroring has traditionally been a difficult venue to overtake at, with the downhill right-handed first turn remaining the most common location for passes, despite a track revamp a few years ago to try and produce more opportunities elsewhere on the lap.
