      Yeah, they're using an interesting definition of "street circuit" here - basically a circuit with walls.
      This doesn't fit any definition of a street circuit apart from that. There's no city, there's no uneven road surfaces.... there's even a banked corner. Don't go around many of them on my daily commute.

    The three consecutive DRS zones are quite crazy. I could imagine that overtakes will be already finished after two zones and then the driver who got overtaken overtakes back on the start finish straight (if there are several DRS detection zones). Then you could get a Belgium like situation where nobody wants to be in front before the last turn.

    • @WynnofThule
      @WynnofThule 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Actually you do want to pass in Eau Rouge in Spa. The detection is before that corner but the zone after. You can make it by and then pull away with DRS that way.

      Did you see that "blind and most dangerous corner" on the track? Hit the inside wall there slightly, break a steering arm, puncture left front tyre and you'll go "straight" ahead. But as you are now skidding along the plank, the tarmac runoffs won't actually slow down the car that much (see Buemi China, or any other formula car that doesn't have 4 working tires and are out of control on tarmac). Then you add in that angled wall on the outside. Ups.
