zone for this year’s race.</p> <p>Ahead of this year’s race <a title="Lewis Hamilton" href="/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/lewis-hamilton/">Lewis Hamilton</a> said: “With KERS hybrid and DRS in the mix, it should be an exciting grand prix – although, interestingly, we’re reverting to a shorter, single DRS zone after the double zone last year.”</p> <p>Last year’s DRS zones for the race were situated on the start/finish straight and the straight leading towards the final chicane.</p> <p>They shared a single activation point at the exit of the hairpin. In the race some drivers were able to complete a pass in the first DRS zone, then pull further ahead of their pursuer in the second zone.</p> <p>Twin DRS zones were used in the Australian Grand Prix this year, where one had been used the year before.</p> <p>Hamilton expects McLaren to be competitive at next week’s race: “The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is a fantastic track – it’s super-fast in places, which means it requires finesse and precision, but you can also end up racing wheel-to-wheel with people at 200mph too, which is an incredible sensation.</p> <p>“However, you still want a car with decent low-speed traction – all those long drags are usually preceded by tight hairpins, so it’s important that you can get the power down efficiently if you’re to pull a good lap time together.”</p> <p>He added: “On paper, I think our car will be well-suited to the combination: we showed in Spain that we’re very good in high-speed corners, but we were also quick in the final sector, which is slower and more technical.</p> <p>“Of course, it’s still difficult to accurately predict the outcome, so I’ll be focusing on another clean weekend where I can score more consistent world championship points.”</p> <h4>2012 Canadian Grand Prix</h4> <p><ul class="lcp_catlist"><li class="current"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/06/01/drs-zone-canadian-grand-prix/" title="One DRS zone instead of two at Canadian Grand Prix">One DRS zone instead of two at Canadian Grand Prix</a> </li><li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/06/01/lotus-aim-bounce-monaco-disappointment/" title="Lotus move on from Monaco disappointment">Lotus move on from Monaco disappointment</a> </li><li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/06/01/mercedes-drivers-expect-strong-showing-canada/" title="Mercedes drivers expect strong showing in Canada">Mercedes drivers expect strong showing in Canada</a> </li><li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/05/21/pirelli-announced-unchanged-tyre-allocations-races/" title="Pirelli announce unchanged tyre allocations for next three races">Pirelli announce unchanged tyre allocations for next three races</a> </li></ul><strong><a href="/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/category/2012-f1-season/2012-f1-calendar/2012-canadian-grand-prix-2012-f1-calendar/">Browse all 2012 Canadian Grand Prix articles</a></strong></p> <p><small><em>Image © Williams/LAT</em></small></p> <div class="sharebuttons"> <p>Share this with your friends:</p> <ul> <li class="share-button"> <g:plusone width="200" size="medium" annotation="inline"></g:plusone> </li> <li class="share-button"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="horizontal">Tweet</a> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600js_/http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script> </li> <li class="share-button"> <iframe src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600if_/http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.f1fanatic.co.uk%2F2012%2F06%2F01%2Fdrs-zone-canadian-grand-prix%2F&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=75&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=21" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none;

Fernando was 2nd and Felipe was 3rd. In Monaco Ferrari was a surprise for me, with good traction on the exits, great on slow corners and super fast on the curbs. These are the key for Canada as well plus they will bring many bits and pieces for the car. </p> <p>If rain stays away from the circuit this gp will be a thriller. With only one and shortened DRS zone the overtaking will be just fine. Historically Canada always produced great overtaking so why use two DRS zones? One is just fine! </p> <p>Does anyone knows what and when will FIA clarify Red Bulls floor? In my opinion a hole is a hole and a crack is a crack.

On the straights it is an advantage.<br/> Returning the disadvantage on one straight alone, where there is usually plenty of overtaking opportunities in the first place create easy, sometimes even free overtakes that feels incredibly fake. And overtakes where drivers just drive by each other down a straight is boring. It would be much better to somehow artificially (like DRS) return the disadvantage, where it is actually lost i.e in the corners, or even better, revise the rules so that the cars doesn’t leave a long trail of ruined air behind for the next driver to go through. Ground effects and less emphasis on wings could reduce the wake dramatically. Thus provide closer racing and enable the drivers to overtake on most of the circuit and if they are brave enough, give it a go in the twisty sections as well.<br/> Fixing F1 with DRS is like fixing a Rolex watch with duct tape.</p> </div> <div class="comment-options"> </div> </div> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> <li class="comment byuser comment-author-john-h even depth-2" id="comment-1017245"> <div class="comment-avatar-box"> <div class="avb"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/john-h/" rel="nofollow"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600im_/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/avatars/2846/42bc9b6f84f186ceaec3c622934f1611-bpthumb.jpg" alt="Avatar Image" class="avatar user-2846-avatar" width="25" height="25" title="John H"/> </a> </div> </div> <div class="comment-content"> <div class="comment-meta"> <p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/john-h/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">John H</a> (@john-h) said on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/06/01/drs-zone-canadian-grand-prix/comment-page-1/#comment-1017245"><span class="time-since">1st June 2012, 19:37</span></a> </p> </div> <div class="comment-entry"> <p>Can’t stand it either, but I have to say none of the drivers have come out and really criticised it yet which I find surprising so perhaps I have to get used to it.</p> </div> <div class="comment-options"> <a class="comment-reply-link" href="/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/06/01/drs-zone-canadian-grand-prix/?replytocom=1017245#respond" onclick="return addComment.moveForm("comment-1017245", "1017245", "respond", "60768")">Reply</a><a href="javascript:void(0)" style="margin-left:10px" class="comment-reply-link wangguard-user-report" rel="2846" title="Report user">Report user</a> </div> </div> <ul class="children"> <li class="comment byuser comment-author-ivz odd alt depth-3" id="comment-1017282"> <div class="comment-avatar-box"> <div class="avb"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/ivz/" rel="nofollow"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600im_/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/avatars/20621/a374554deca0489e13bf7ce93390998c-bpthumb.jpg" alt="Avatar Image" class="avatar user-20621-avatar" width="25" height="25" title="ivz"/> </a> </div> </div> <div class="comment-content"> <div class="comment-meta"> <p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/ivz/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">ivz</a> (@ivz) said on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/06/01/drs-zone-canadian-grand-prix/comment-page-1/#comment-1017282"><span class="time-since">1st June 2012, 21:21</span></a> </p> </div> <div class="comment-entry"> <p>DRS was only brought in because its a simple solution for now, than to fix the bigger problem.

All I see is you attacking Vettel and Alonso for being treated as number 1 drivers in their teams, when we are talking about the Drag Reduction System, a device introduced to increase the amount of overtaking in F1. You saying that teammates are a challenge and that DRS is also a challenge has no point.</p> <blockquote><p>Vet & Alo don’t want to lose easy victory’s because DRS allowed a trailing car the chance to overtake, when previously thier was no chance of the trailing car overtaking, and driving to victory was easy.</p></blockquote> <p>Except that Vettel dominated 2011, the very first year of DRS. He most likely would have won it in a similar fashion without DRS. Why? Because he and his team were the best, not because of “dirty air”. </p> <p>The only actual lead changes so far in 2012 that have involved DRS have been cars that hadn’t pitted being passed by those that had.

I see no excitement in that.</p> <p>At the end of the day, the only way I will accept DRS is if it remains a temporary solution (as it was supposed to be) to the overtaking issue F1 had.</p> </div> <div class="comment-options"> <a class="comment-reply-link" href="/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/06/01/drs-zone-canadian-grand-prix/?replytocom=1018418#respond" onclick="return addComment.moveForm("comment-1018418", "1018418", "respond", "60768")">Reply</a><a href="javascript:void(0)" style="margin-left:10px" class="comment-reply-link wangguard-user-report" rel="9052" title="Report user">Report user</a> </div> </div> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> <li class="comment byuser comment-author-mads odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1" id="comment-1017150"> <div class="comment-avatar-box"> <div class="avb"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/mads/" rel="nofollow"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600im_/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/avatars/26318/842314fc7df8f929c781320882f39257-bpthumb.jpg" alt="Avatar Image" class="avatar user-26318-avatar" width="50" height="50" title="Mads"/> </a> </div> </div> <div class="comment-content"> <div class="comment-meta"> <p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/mads/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Mads</a> (@mads) said on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/06/01/drs-zone-canadian-grand-prix/comment-page-1/#comment-1017150"><span class="time-since">1st June 2012, 15:59</span></a> </p> </div> <div class="comment-entry"> <p>So with the progress so far, we will see no DRS zones in Canada next year?

That way, we could see an overtake down the back straight, and then a pull away with DRS, or a get close exciting moment and then an attempt on the pit straight where it would be pretty fun to watch an overtake, and then because of that, there could possibly be more fighting after that down the first few corners, maybe more due to running of line, dirty tyres, and just running different lines into corners.<br/> So, it could be interesting on the pit straight with the far back detection zone. But it would be disastrous on the back straight. Completely.<br/> No DRS would be better of course though…</p> </div> <div class="comment-options"> <a class="comment-reply-link" href="/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/06/01/drs-zone-canadian-grand-prix/?replytocom=1017309#respond" onclick="return addComment.moveForm("comment-1017309", "1017309", "respond", "60768")">Reply</a><a href="javascript:void(0)" style="margin-left:10px" class="comment-reply-link wangguard-user-report" rel="60461" title="Report user">Report user</a> </div> </div> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> <li class="comment even thread-odd thread-alt depth-1" id="comment-1017242"> <div class="comment-avatar-box"> <div class="avb"> <a href="" rel="nofollow"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600im_/http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/6cf48689c82dcecafa1924717fcb7a8a?s=50&d=http%3A%2F%2F0.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D50&r=G" class="avatar avatar-50 photo" height="50" width="50"/> </a> </div> </div> <div class="comment-content"> <div class="comment-meta"> <p> Krratos said on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/06/01/drs-zone-canadian-grand-prix/comment-page-1/#comment-1017242"><span class="time-since">1st June 2012, 19:29</span></a> </p> </div> <div class="comment-entry"> <p>Qualifying will run under the threat of light showers.

To have two DRS zones with a only single detection point makes no sense whatsoever, so it’s good that they’ve at least reverted to one for this race. Also, allowing drivers to use DRS when they are following <em>lapped cars?</em> How does that benefit overtaking and competition?</p> <p>Their past responses to such criticisms have always been along the lines of “we simply dont have the technology to accomodate such <em>distinctions</em> with the DRS system”, which is beyond ridiculous. F1 is the most technoligically advanced sport in the world, and yet their DRS detection and activation logic has seemingly been programmed by a person who’s never been near a computer.</p> <p>Whether or not you like DRS in F1, it appears to be here to stay, and at the very least it needs to be applied in a much more sensible and sporting way.</p> </div> <div class="comment-options"> <a class="comment-reply-link" href="/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/06/01/drs-zone-canadian-grand-prix/?replytocom=1017292#respond" onclick="return addComment.moveForm("comment-1017292", "1017292", "respond", "60768")">Reply</a><a href="javascript:void(0)" style="margin-left:10px" class="comment-reply-link wangguard-user-report" rel="8012" title="Report user">Report user</a> </div> </div> <ul class="children"> <li class="comment byuser comment-author-nick-uk odd alt depth-2" id="comment-1017327"> <div class="comment-avatar-box"> <div class="avb"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/nick-uk/" rel="nofollow"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600im_/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/avatars/58634/d2f94f9a83460ca68ded5096a92fe194-bpthumb.jpg" alt="Avatar Image" class="avatar user-58634-avatar" width="25" height="25" title="Nick.UK"/> </a> </div> </div> <div class="comment-content"> <div class="comment-meta"> <p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/nick-uk/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Nick.UK</a> (@nick-uk) said on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/06/01/drs-zone-canadian-grand-prix/comment-page-1/#comment-1017327"><span class="time-since">1st June 2012, 23:42</span></a> </p> </div> <div class="comment-entry"> <p>Haha, yeah I always found that excuse slightly bizarre!

I’ve also been told that at least 5 drivers have told FOM personnel they hate DRS only to then support it publically.<br/> Same with the Pirelli tyres, Privately most the drivers complain about them, Publically these same drivers say they support Pirelli.</p> </div> <div class="comment-options"> <a class="comment-reply-link" href="/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/06/01/drs-zone-canadian-grand-prix/?replytocom=1017351#respond" onclick="return addComment.moveForm("comment-1017351", "1017351", "respond", "60768")">Reply</a> </div> </div> <ul class="children"> <li class="comment byuser comment-author-hallard odd alt depth-4" id="comment-1017369"> <div class="comment-avatar-box"> <div class="avb"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/hallard/" rel="nofollow"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600im_/http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/8a9cdfdb2b3a20f60e9eaf949ad162d3?d=http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/images/mystery-man.jpg&s=25" alt="Avatar Image" class="avatar user-8012-avatar" width="25" height="25" title="Hallard"/> </a> </div> </div> <div class="comment-content"> <div class="comment-meta"> <p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/hallard/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Hallard</a> (@hallard) said on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/06/01/drs-zone-canadian-grand-prix/comment-page-1/#comment-1017369"><span class="time-since">2nd June 2012, 1:17</span></a> </p> </div> <div class="comment-entry"> <p>Good info, thanks for that. Hadnt heard that McLaren was at all involved in the DRS software/implementation.</p> <p>Nonetheless, a very simple computer program could introduce logic that would simply consume the data <em>they already get </em>from these timing loops, and reliably deduce if a driver is lapping a car vs passing a car for position, as well as correlate multiple detection and activation zones with one another.</p> <p>I think the problem is that nobody cares enough to fix it. Top teams might even <strong>like</strong> that they can use DRS on lapped cars, since it makes it even easier to get by blue-flagged traffic. It’s just emblematic of the whole DRS approach. It was meant to be a temporary, stop-gap solution at first. After a (relatively) warm reception from the fans and media and some (arguable) degree of success, the band-aid is now seen as the silver bullet. Meanwhile I’ll keep hoping for some wholesale changes to the technical regs that will allow us to be rid of such gimmickery.</p> </div> <div class="comment-options"> <a class="comment-reply-link" href="/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/06/01/drs-zone-canadian-grand-prix/?replytocom=1017369#respond" onclick="return addComment.moveForm("comment-1017369", "1017369", "respond", "60768")">Reply</a><a href="javascript:void(0)" style="margin-left:10px" class="comment-reply-link wangguard-user-report" rel="8012" title="Report user">Report user</a> </div> </div> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> <li class="comment byuser comment-author-markp even thread-odd thread-alt depth-1" id="comment-1017322"> <div class="comment-avatar-box"> <div class="avb"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/markp/" rel="nofollow"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600im_/http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/7ab8ebbcbed28afa1d141934cfa2ad86?d=http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/images/mystery-man.jpg&s=50" alt="Avatar Image" class="avatar user-64374-avatar" width="50" height="50" title="mark"/> </a> </div> </div> <div class="comment-content"> <div class="comment-meta"> <p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/markp/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">mark</a> (@markp) said on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/06/01/drs-zone-canadian-grand-prix/comment-page-1/#comment-1017322"><span class="time-since">1st June 2012, 23:31</span></a> </p> </div> <div class="comment-entry"> <p>I look at DRS as a work in progress like new cars in pre season. After 1 years race you can alter the length for the desired effect. What I don’t get is using it in qualifying as much as you want. Since it’s introduction I get a sense that a car suffers in a race relative to qualifying and vice versa and I beleive the balance of DRS to be the culprit. If it was put in to improve overtaking in races or not allowing a faster car being stuck for a critical period of the race due to differing strategies why use it in qualifying when you do not overtake. Atleast use it only where it’s used in the race. This will bring more transparency to the casual viewer as to why a car qualifies well but it’s relative race pace is not as good. Possibly helping viewers understand the race weekend better and not leading to the lottery feel some complain about come race day?</p> </div> <div class="comment-options"> <a class="comment-reply-link" href="/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/06/01/drs-zone-canadian-grand-prix/?replytocom=1017322#respond" onclick="return addComment.moveForm("comment-1017322", "1017322", "respond", "60768")">Reply</a><a href="javascript:void(0)" style="margin-left:10px" class="comment-reply-link wangguard-user-report" rel="64374" title="Report user">Report user</a> </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment byuser comment-author-eastman odd alt thread-even depth-1" id="comment-1017328"> <div class="comment-avatar-box"> <div class="avb"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/eastman/" rel="nofollow"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600im_/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/avatars/3844/535891bdbacb67a5a4febffde31bba60-bpthumb.jpg" alt="Avatar Image" class="avatar user-3844-avatar" width="50" height="50" title="Eastman"/> </a> </div> </div> <div class="comment-content"> <div class="comment-meta"> <p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/eastman/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Eastman</a> (@eastman) said on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/06/01/drs-zone-canadian-grand-prix/comment-page-1/#comment-1017328"><span class="time-since">1st June 2012, 23:43</span></a> </p> </div> <div class="comment-entry"> <p>Rain looks likely for Saturday qualifying.
