Ahead of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, the FIA announced several modifications to the circuit and confirmed the placement of the two DRS zones.
Compared to last season, new asphalt has been laid on a number of sections: between Turns 2 and 4 (mainly on the left side), before Turn 4, between Turns 7 and 8, at Turn 12 (right side), between Turns 14 and 15, as well as at Turn 18 (left side).
The DRS zones remain unchanged. The first detection point is located at the second Safety Car line, with activation available 54 meters after Turn 2. The second detection point is positioned at the apex of Turn 20, and the system may be activated 347 meters after the corner.
