FIA adjusts the DRS zones for the 2024 Mexican Grand Prix.
This adjustment focuses on the main straight of the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez circuit. The decision comes after feedback from the 2023 race suggested that overtaking had become overly simplistic along this stretch of the track.
The principal change involves shortening the DRS zone on the main straight by 75 meters. The activation point of the DRS in this zone will now commence at 240 meters from the start of the straight, as opposed to the previous position of 165 meters. Historically, the FIA has been responsive to feedback from various stakeholders, including drivers and teams. This year's change aligns with ongoing efforts to dynamically adjust DRS zones based on race outcomes and feedback. For example, the 2024 Azerbaijan Grand Prix featured an extended DRS zone designed to foster more overtaking opportunities.
In addition to the main straight adjustments, the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez will retain its three DRS zones for the 2024 event. Apart from the revised main straight zone, the other two consist of one between Turns 3 and 4, activating 115 meters after Turn 3, and another between Turns 11 and 12, with activation beginning 80 meters after Turn 11.
The Mexican Grand Prix weekend will be kicking off tomorrow with the first two free practice sessions, the second of which will be an 90 minutes rather then 60 due to a Pirelli tire test. The third and final practice session which take place on Saturday followed by Qualifying later in the day and the Grand Prix on Sunday.leads the Drivers' Championship with a 57-point lead over Lando Norris. McLaren leads the Constructors' Championship by 40 points with Red Bull in second.2.
