Formula 1 drivers say that the racing in Azerbaijan was compromised by the decision to cut the DRS zone on the main straight by 100 metres compared to last year.Both the sprint and the main event in Baku were notable for a lack of passing compared to previous events at the track.
Lewis Hamilton, who was heard asking his team for more power at one point in Sunday’s race as he chased Carlos Sainz, was one of the many drivers who felt the DRS zone wasn’t long enough.“And I think ultimately they shortened the DRS this year down the straight, I don't quite know why they did that. We've always had great racing where the DRS was.Alex Albon was another who felt that the start of the activation point should have stayed where it was in 2022.
Lando Norris, who spent much of the race stuck behind late-stoppers Esteban Ocon and Nico Hulkenberg and couldn’t take advantage of his fresher tyres, was another who felt frustrated by the shorter DRS zone.“Not with how short the DRS zone is now comparing to where it was last year. I did the best I could to try and keep up with the cars ahead.Asked if a shorter DRS zone made sense he added: “No, none. All the drivers questioned it in the drivers' briefing.
“The suction effect following the car ahead seems to be a little less than normal, but this may depend on various factors.”
