F1 | GP Styria, the DRS zones for the first weekend at the Red Bull Ring

The FIA ​​has made official the points where it will be possible to exploit the DRS system in the Styrian Grand Prix, the eighth round of the 2021 Formula 1 World Championship.

After the victory achieved in the photo finish by Max Verstappen at Le Castellet over Lewis Hamilton, with a relative extension in the drivers' world championship, teams and drivers will return to battle on the always spectacular Red Bull Ring track, this year confirmed in a double event as in the past season.

The race commission, for the weekend which will take place under the name "GP Styria", has chosen to activate three DRS zones, which will be positioned on the main straight of the Austrian circuit, in the stretch leading from turns 1 to 3 (in half the semi-curve of 2) and in the opposite straight line that leads the pilots from 3 to 4. The detection cells, one for each sector, will be placed just before turns 10, 1 and 3.

The weekend programme, we remind you, includes two one-hour free practice sessions on Friday and FP3 on Saturday morning. These 60 minutes of work on the track will be the last opportunity for teams and drivers to work on the set-ups in view of qualifying, scheduled for the same day at 15.00pm. Green light on Sunday afternoon at 15.00pm. The race can be followed live on Sky Sport F1 HD and deferred on TV8.
