and couldn't take advantage of his fresher tyres, was another who felt frustrated by the shorter DRS zone."Not with how short the DRS zone is now compared to where it was last year. I did the best I could to try and keep up with the cars ahead. I just used the tyres up too much, because we're not on the same level."
Asked if a shorter DRS zone made sense, he added:"No, none. All the drivers questioned it in the drivers' briefing."boss Andrea Stella agreed that the zone could have been longer while acknowledging the bigger picture of a reduced slipstream effect that was highlighted by Albon."If you are like 5-10 metres closer, you can try and attack, which like for us today was impossible during the whole race. So certainly for us, it would have been welcomed.
"I think what the FIA and F1 have to look at carefully is this year it looks like it was generally more difficult to overtake, possibly not only because of DRS, but because of a little less slipstream effect. "The suction effect following the car ahead seems to be a little less than normal, but this may depend on various factors."
