The FIA has revealed the DRS zones for the upcoming Indian Grand Prix, which will see the return of a double area for use of the device.

The first detection zone will be placed 10 meters after Turn 15 of the new Buddh circuit, with the activation 36 meters after Turn 16, leaving drivers with a bit part of the shorter straight to try to overtake.

The second DRS zone will be placed 16m before Turn 3 (detection) and 510m after the same corner (activation), which will give drivers more than half of the longer straight to overtake rivals.
