I don't understand why they handle DRS the way they do round this track.

They have 1 detection point for 2 zones & then put the detection point miles before the hairpin which means that you can pass into the hairpin & then use DRS to pull away down the next 2 straights.

Or end up with drivers backing off to ensure they get DRS like Alonso/Hamilton did last year:



I'm not having a go at DRS as its not been too bad this year, I just think its idiotic to have it setup the way they do here, Especially since this isn't even a track which needs much DRS given how it was always a track that produced good racing & overtaking without DRS.

Turn 8 still has some

Ricciardo was given a reprimand for undertaking Maldonado in the pits.

Debris on track.

Quite a surprise. These days they not only give penalty for collisions but usually hypothetical collisions.

great to see these high top speeds

Kimi spun out of the hairpin

What was the year when the hairpin started breaking up and a lot of people rain wide, felt a bit like a wet race in the dry?

My memory says 2006 but others on twitter say 2008 so I dunno....

2008 it also was filled with holes and cement to cover up those. The grip was bad which resulted in Massa's double overtake.

wasn't it 2008, with that fantastic move of Massa?
