The FIA has confirmed the locations of the two DRS zones for the season-opening Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne.
In the team previews it was revealed that the race would see two zones after overtaking proved difficult in 2011 despite the presence of DRS. The first zone remains in the same place as last year - on the pit straight down towards turn one - while the second zone follows immediately afterwards on the run between turns two and three.
Although there are two zones, there is only one activation point which is positioned before turn 14. This means that only the following car will be able to activate its DRS in either zone, and therefore if it manages to make the pass in the first zone it can use the DRS to pull away from the other car in the second.
