If we are talking about spectacle, one of the key points is the correct location of the DRS sectors, which is where the drivers can apply this tool that allows them to generate overtaking, even if they are “artificial”. It is worth remembering that it is a technical variant that produces the movement of the rear wing that facilitates better air intake and better traction on the car that comes behind. Although it can be used in certain sectors such as straight lines or other fast places.
After analyzing the data from the last championship, the site Motorsport revealed that the FIA will make corrections to these locations on race circuits Bahrain, yeda (Saudi Arabia), Melbourne (Australia), Baku (Azerbaijan) and Miami (USA). At the moment it was not confirmed what the specific changes are, although it could be known that the semi-permanent layout of the Albert Park in Melbourne will have a fourth zone of DRS.

starts. The issue was also opened so that runners can practice the games more during the weekend in a lap that is not timed or at the start of the track before starting the race.
park closed. It is the sector where the cars remain after the brand new sprint race on Saturdays. It is pointed out that the teams can have more freedom to change elements that can be damaged in these competitions that are a third of the mileage that those that are disputed on Sundays. For this, the form in which the teams report their changes in the six Saturday races will be used more.
new tires. A rain compound will be released that will be available from the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix (sixth round). With this, it is sought that it is possible to run more safely in races with wet floors and that the races are not delayed or shortened. Also, instead of 13 sets of tires per Grand Prix will have only 11.
ground effect. Los floor edges will be 15 millimeters higher than in 2022, with the aim of fighting against the rebound effect, something that the teams successfully achieved in the latter part of last season.
winter break. During this interval between seasons, it is sought that the workshops are completely closedboth that of the equipment and that of the manufacturers of combustion engines, Ferrari, Mercedes, Renault (Alpine) y Red Bull Powertrains. This points to a budget reduction and more parity.
Budgets. Increased the cost limit of $1.2 to $1.8 million for each Grand Prix that exceeds the limit of 21 races established in the regulations. This year 23 dates are scheduled in the longest calendar of the 73-year history of the Maxima. It is also intended that the teams can better manage their resources in races outside Europe, which are usually the most expensive.
score. The sports regulations on the distribution of points in shortened races were corrected, which generated great controversy in Japan in 2022, when the start was delayed due to rain and 28 laps were run, just over 52 percent. These new modifications are intended to full points are only awarded in competitions that complete almost all of the mileage scheduled, beyond eventual pauses or delays, as happened in Suzuka, which had the value of a definition of the title and was the day that Max Verstappen won the two-time championship and when he got off his Red Bull he wasn’t sure he got it. It seeks to avoid another piece of paper like that.
It was on Sunday, November 20, when the 2022 season ended in Abu Dhabi, the same day as 550 kilometers from Qatar, where the World Cup began on the same day, ending with the consecration of Argentina.
