Mexico has become the latest venue to introduce a new 🍸DRS zone in the hope of boosting overtaking opportunities, after Singapore added a third DRS zone at the Marina Bay Street Circuit for this year’s race.
Lewis Hamilton, who can seal his sixth Formula 1 drivers’ title this weekend if he🏅 outscores Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas in Me🔜xico, spoke of the difficulty of being able to follow and pass the Ferraris in Japan, despite the aid of DRS.
“Of course I got in the tow of Sebastian [Vettel], the tow with DRS and maximu🎶m power and everything it’sꦑ incredible how quick they are,” he explained.
“It makes it very, very difficult, even if you’ve got the advantage of ♔the tyre but I think it’s cool anyway, it provides interesting racing. I wish we could have had a closer race but it’s a difficult track to do so.”
The Mexican Grand Prix recently secured a new thre𒐪e-year deal to continue hosting grand prix racing until the end o✤f 2022.
