A third DRS zone has been added to the Sakhir International Circuit for this weekend’s Formula 1 Bahrain Grand Prix.
Formula 1 has typically used two DRS zones at most Grands Prix – experimenting with three in Australia and Canada last year – but a third will be introduced at Sakhir this weekend.
Drivers will have use of the system between Turns 3 and 4, with a detection point placed 50 metres before the apex of Turn 1.
It is in addition to the existing DRS zones at the venue, which have not been changed since last year.
These are placed along the pit straight and back straight, each with their own respective detection points.
The regulation changes introduced in Formula 1 this season means the effect of DRS is more powerful than in 2018
