the trap is the fastest spot on the track and has a RADAR unit checking for top end speed

the DRS zones are Drag Reduction Zones where the rear wing opens up on a car one second or less behind the car in front of it to assist in passing, less down force = less drag = quick burst of speed for overtaking

Thanks

My last F1 experience was the anemic 1.5 litre non-turbo cars of the early ‘60s. Phil Hill, Ritchie Ginther, Graham Hill, Von Tripps, the Rodriguez brothers, Moss, et al.

Much better now.
