For the first time since the drag reduction system was introduced in Fo✨rmula 1 back 🧸in 2011, there will be four DRS zones in Sunday’s Australian Grand Prix.

Albert Park has always been notoဣriously difficult to overtake leading to many 🗹dull season-opening races.

As a result, track organisers have made signifi🔥cant changes to the t🧜rack and pit lane in a bid to improve the racing.

F1 has gone one step further by adding a fꦓourth DRS zone for this weeken🎃d.

Where are the DRS zones?

The first DRS zone remain🔯s on the start-finish straight down to Turn 1, while one also remains into Turn 3.

The DRS zoneౠ on the exit of the fast left-ri🌳ght chicane remains down to Turn 11 (was previously Turn 13).

A fourth ac๊tivation zone has been added on the run to the left-right chicane.

The new zone goes through the heavily modified part ofﷺ t🌳he circuit which saw the removal of the old Turn 9-10 right/left corners and turned into a flat-out section.

Four DRS zones may be seen as too much given how easy it was for 𒉰driver𓂃s to follow each other and re-overtake at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

However, unlike in Jeddah which had three detection points, th🍎ere are just two for this weekend so if a driver is able to overtake in the new DRS zone into Turn 9, the driver who completed the overtake will have DRS again into Turn 13 meaning he’s guaranteed to remain ahead.

Whereas in Saudi Arabia, both Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen didn’t want to be ahead at the final corner as they’♏d be at serious risk of being overtaken again.

F1 has tried to combat this to avoid a repeat of last time out with just two detection points but with four DRS zones on the track, you should still expect to see🤡 some ‘cat and mouse’ games between the drivers at the fron꧟t given that if the cars are evenly matched, it will be difficult to break the one-second window.

What changes have been made to the track?

Even wit🍬hout the introduction of a fourth DRS zone, organisers have made significant changes to a number of corners.

Albert Park’s tight Turn 1 has been widened by 2.5 metres in hope of improving wheel-to-𒆙wheel action at the first corner.

Turn 3 has also been widened, this🎃 time by four metres which should give drivers more opportunities to lunge pasﷺt their rivals.

Turn 6 has been vastly changed with a 7.5 metre widening of the corner, 🍎increasing speeds from 149km/h to 219km/h.

As previously mentioned, the old Turn 9 an💃d 10 has been removed and chang꧂ed into a flat-out 1.3km section.

This makes it the longest ‘straight’ on the track and is where the new DRS zon𓄧e will be situated.

Turn 11 has also been widened💙 and straightened, with the camber also being adjusted.

The penultimate corner has also been changed, with it being widened b𓂃y 3.5 metres.

Finally, the pit lane has been widened by two metres which will see the speed limit increase from 60kph 𒁃to 80kph.

Home hero Daniel Ricciardo was involved in the re-design of the circuit and he's confident th💮e modifications will lead to being a bet⛄ter show for fans.

"I think with the new design at Albert Park it's really focused on improving the racing, the spectacle for Sunday, to create more opportunities for o🍬vertaking," Ricciardo said on the Australian GP's YouTube channel.

"It'🍨s a beautiful circuit but it's always been quite narrow and tight and, therefore, quite tricky to overtake so we've really tried to exploit some areas to allow more slipstreaming, more chance of overtaking under braking.

"So I𒆙 think it is going to🧜 be a different spectacle this time around."
