With moveable aerodynamics here to stay, each circuit will now display ‘straight mode zones’ on its map, in place of the previous DRS detection points, to indicate when the active wings come into play.
At Albert Park, four DRS zones now become five straight mode zones, with the overtake mode activation and detection points marked at the end of the lap at Turns 13 and 14.
Also on Sunday, to celebrate International Women’s Day, the right-hander of Turn Six will be dedicated to Haas race engineer Laura Mueller and head of race strategy at Red Bull Hannah Schmitz.
German Mueller is the first female race engineer in Formula 1 and is back for a second season working with Frenchman Esteban Ocon.
Briton Schmitz, meanwhile, has been a key figure in Red Bull’s recent championship successes and her strategy calls have guided the team to many of their wins and podiums.
