The reason behind F1 shortening DRS zones 'seems obvious' to Helmut Marko. Formula1 RedBullRacing
Helmut Marko’s dig at Mercedes’ ‘flop’ after F1 ‘intervenes in a manipulative way’Helmut Marko believes F1’s trend to shorten DRS zones this season is aimed solely at Red Bull in an attempt to negate their superior DRS strength.As Red Bull romp from one race win to the next, the RB19’s “super-duper DRS” as Ted Kravitz called it is said to be a massive advantage in their arsenal with the DRS reportedly worth up to two to three tenths more per lap than any other teams.
It’s meant that on the few occasions either Max Verstappen or Sergio Perez have needed to pass a rival, they’ve done so with ease, with Lewis Hamilton calling it “insane” while Toto Wolff used the word “mega”. But in the midst of Red Bull’s run of race wins, five on the trot to date this season, the FIA have began to shorten this year’s DRS zones with both of Miami’s 75m less than they were last season.: “Overtaking has always been difficult. Then when you also shorten the DRS zone, the reason seems obvious to me.The 80-year-old reckons Mercedes have been the instigators in all this with Marko telling them to rather focus on their “flop” of a car.
