Two DRS zones for Melbourne GP

An extra DRS zone has been added for the Australian Grand Prix this year.

A single DRS zone was used during last year’s race, the first in which DRS was used.

This year drivers will have the opportunity to use DRS twice per lap, as Sauber’s head of track engineering Giampaolo Dall’Ara explained:

“Historically overtaking has been difficult in Melbourne, but this time there will be two DRS zones.”

Kamui Kobayashi said the unusual nature of the Melbourne track may not give an accurate impression of how competitive the team is in the first race of the year.

“The Albert Park circuit itself has a very nice layout,” he said. “The fact it isn’t a permanent race track, and therefore very slippery at the beginning of the weekend, doesn’t make the set up work for the first Grand Prix any easier, but to adapt to the improving grip level is a challenge for everyone.”

Fantastic news.     

I wonder what Kimi's learning curve will be for the KERS.  Hopefully short.

Scott surely its the DRS flappy wing that's new to Kimi, he had KERS on the Ferrari in 2009 his last season in F1. In fact it helped him win the Belgian GP that year, holding off a charging Fisichella in the non KERS Force India.

That's true, Kimi was the first to master KERS.

I suspect he'll get a quick handle on the flappy wing.

I should think Kimi's biggest challenge is to start the race driving a fully loaded fuel tanker.
