Autodromo Internazionale Enzo and Dino Ferrari has a long history in Formula 1, but it is also one of the racetracks where it is overtaking especially complicated. It is now Max Verstappen pronounced loud and clear for another DRS zone on this traditional track.

FIA after last year's exciting race already responded and this year somewhat extended the DRS zone. Instead of on the finish line, rear wing racers canposition”Right after the entrance to the pits. The measuring point was also moved before the last two turns Rivazza. Last year, that point was only after the last turn. For Verstappen however, this is not enough. “Couldn’t we get another DRS zone? We could easily have one after the chicane. This would help a lot, because before the last turns they could be much closer to the competitor,”To me a racer Red Bull Racing.

In fact, in the section to the turns Rivazza offers additional DRS zone. This is not entirely a plane, however, this section can be easily transported at full throttle. The problem that arises in the current situation Verstappen describe as follows: “You lose so much time here in the last two turns. Even if we can activate the DRS sooner, you don’t get to the first turn in time and close enough to the competitor."

On top of that first turn, which has been forming a new one for several years with the next fast turns Tambourine, too fast to overtake a competitor in front of him on braking. Therefore Verstappen despite adjustments, he does not have high hopes for many overtaking maneuvers. "I don't think it's going to help much,”Adds the Dutchman.
