Can't be arsed to make a detailed post, so Yay Montréal ! According to my visit to the track last weekend, there will be only one DRS zone

Here is the DRS activation line after the last chicane :

And the reason why Alonso beached his car last year :p

And weather forecast

P.S. These photographs were taken with my HTC Amaze 4G. I'm actually surprised at how good they look :)

NZ's Queens birthday is this monday, which is annoying given I had to take a day off for the Monacoanapolis and have to get up early for the Canadian GP both of which are either side of the Queens birthday weekend ffs :(

EDIT: also, i predict a track invasion from dangerous revolutionnary poor students from Quebec supported by independantists. And a public support from diva Céline Dion and Internet superstar ViolonGay.

If the DRS zone will be after last chicane like in your picture then im afraid it wont work, cuz is too short. They should go back with 2 zones from 2011 - it was good.

They should place it in the straigt before the hairpin. Sounds strange but I think that will support overtaking without DRS. Last year at the Nürburgring they used DRS on the straigt towards the final chicane. It was to short but as a result of this they could run very close behind the car in front through the last corner. I have never seen so many overtakes in the first corner like last year and I've been there since 2006. Maybe this will work in Canada as well.

I just hope they won't have another DRS zone on the straight after the hairpin. That was a bit too much and made it way too easy.

Si - tengo suerte, y con Antena 3 puedo ver la carrera completa, las libres y classificaciones en linea ... todo gratis.

[My post reads: soft and super soft tyres for next weekend? Amq replied - you're lucky, here I have to stream Sky because in Portugal as well you have to pay to watch F1. My next post reads - yes - I'm lucky, and with Antena 3 (Spanish broadcaster) I can watch the whole race, free practice and qualifying online, all free ...]

This race has been fantastic in the past two years, I'm expecting something manic with the unpredictability this year.

Actually, my picture shows that it's been painted black over. So, basically, no DRS on the pit straight. Or will they change that within the next week ?
