The FIA was convinced that a single measurement DRS area is more than enough for the European Grand Prix at the Valencia Street circuit. I.e., modelled to the formula that they gave such good results in the past Grand Prize of Canada. Or translated into our language, are going to repeat to see if this time there is a race in normal and can be a little studied the effectiveness of the formula "1 detection area + 2 areas of activation".
In addition, as we discussed at the time, none of the two areas of activation of the DRS are consistent with the goal line, but that both areas are enabled on the "straight back". The first is 285 meters after the curve 10, whereas the second zone is allowed from 35 meters from the curve 14. And you can not miss the ingredient that my I ran at the time, which is that you can use both zones first to advance, and second to put land of medium. With power forward in the first "piece" of area.
While at Le Mans I could not respond too to the Grand Prize of Canada, but the truth is that this next weekend I will be with the eye to the use of two areas of DRS. A bit unfair is perhaps that that a single-seater has the opportunity to activate the DRS once fact overtaking, because the DRS serves to advance. For me it is a kind of paradox of the FIA.
However Nick Heidfeld, one of the more allied pilots to anything that says the FIA, wondered why not have two areas?
You could argue that it is probably too have two areas of DRS, but is a good idea to test at least once and then we shall see. I think that an area should be sufficient, but can why not try?
