British Grand Prix - 5 Best Moments at Silverstone to remember.

A third DRS zone has been placed on the track's start/finish straight as part of the FIA's attempt to improve overtaking opportunities in F1.

The location of the DRS zone is unique because, with the first Abbey right-hander followed by the Farm left-hander both being flat out on lower fuel loads, ideally most drivers will have the option of keeping their DRS open through the turns.
