In the week leading up to the Spanish Grand Prix, FIA race director Charlie Whiting annouced that the Canadian Grand Prix would see the introduction of a secondary Drag Reduction System (DRS) activation zone. The plan for a secondary DRS zone would be continued at the European Grand Prix, with the first zone incorporating the long back straight on the approach to Turn 12, and the second zone using the stretch from Turns 14 to 17.

One of the worst tracks in F1, expecting a borefest and nothing else.

Time for Texas to replace this race!

American tracks rock, I loved watching Hamilton drive the MP4-23 in Watkins Glenn a couple of days ago.

Last year there were suggestions that they would make changes to the layout to improve overtaking, since in the last 3 years you could count the total passes on one hand.

Has anyone seen any mention of changes or are they leaving it as it is, bearing in mind KERS, DRS and tyres this year are providing all the action.

I just hope Hamilton has a smooth race for once, without changing his driving style

Crashes like Webber's from last year are always scary and spectacular, it reminded me of the Christian Fittipaldi at Monza 93 crash. This was the final lap and he crossed the line to finish... well some of his car did.

2011- 2nd retirement of the race!

Canada, was a track he was suppose to be ace at, same as monaco, and look at what happened. Could even say monza 09/10 aswell.

Past success is no future guarantee as DC says!

Trying to think about the DRS zones, down into turn 2 maybe ? it does have quite a large curve just beyond the starting grid and the most obvious one would be after turn 10 with a activation zone sort of around "Turn 11" ( which isn't really a proper turn).
