Expected More Over Taking in Spain


Shanghai Circuit in China, is one of the circuit with a long straight track which reached 17.1 meters. But the FIA ​​(world motor racing federation) only permits the activation zone of Drag Reduction System (DRS) over 752 meters. The reason is because the zones are too long will make the process of overtaking so very easy to use flexible wing or DRS.

But do not be prejudiced first. 2011 season is a season full of surprises, the use of Drag Reduction System (DRS) aka flexible wing and the Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) will certainly be things that would make F1 races in Spain (22 / 5) future be more exciting. Not to mention the strategic use of tires will be very influential because of the character of this circuit is fairly complex.

Catalunya circuit F1 event in Spain (22 / 5), it seems the FIA ​​will not reduce rations DRS activation zone. Tracks straight, which is the starting line - the finish on the circuit is reportedly going to use the lane 830 yards straight as an activation zone of DRS. Thus from 4 series of Formula 1 that have been held this season, Spain will have the longest DRS activation zone.

The reason for extension of areas of activation along the 830-meter in the circuit, associated with the level of difficulty to overtake your opponent in Catalunya is very high. Profile circuit that is not too wide will make the rider is quite difficult to maneuver to overtake.

Of course F1 Spanish series will be one of the most exciting spectacle in the future. In addition to having high levels of difficulty to overtake the opponent, some fast corners also demanded precision better car to be as fast through that section

F1 assessed regulatory changes will make the race this weekend so different.

That's at least the belief voiced by a number of team bosses who competed in the arena 'Jet Land' this season. The existence of Drag Reduction System (DRS) and KERS predicted would make the Spanish Grand Prix to be more fierce.

"I think with the DRS all be possible," the Renault Team Principal on Planet F1 Eric Boullier, referring to his hopes to see a lot of overtaking.

"Mainly because aspects of tire decreasing, it needs an aggressive strategy that requires overtaking on the track and of course a good finish in the race," he added.

From McLaren's Martin Whitmarsh has ekspekstasi are not much different with Boullier about the significance of DRS and KERS race later in the process.

"In particular I am interested to see how the 2011 regulatory changes will affect the race on Sunday."

"We have seen how the DRS and the KERS hybrid has given effect in a race this season, so we'll see how the situation in Barcelona later given the previous Spanish Grand Prix already provide limited opportunities for overtaking," said Whitmarsh.

Williams Technical Director Sam Michael joined assess if previous Catalunya Circuit does not give much room for overtaking. It will not happen again this season.

"I'm sure there will be a lot of overtaking. With the condition of the tires and rear wing aspect should be so different. I think this is a very good test."

"In the past this was the worst track for overtaking affairs," Michael straightforward.

Last year Webber a winner in the series and the first Spanish driver led the standings after the F1 Monaco. Is this year's Mark Webber can look better? Hopefully.
