FIA make statement on fourth DRS zone in Singapore
The circuit layout for the Singapore Grand Prix has been changed due to construction work nearby, resulting in the removal of a sequence of 90-degree corners. A new single straight has been introduced, leading into a chicane, which will reduce lap times and increase the overall race distance. Some drivers have questioned why a fourth DRS zone has not been added to the new straight, citing safety concerns. The FIA considered adding additional DRS zones but did not receive a clear consensus from the teams and decided against it after safety simulations. The lack of a DRS zone might make overtaking more difficult, although it has been possible in previous races at the Singapore Grand Prix.
