I wish Brundle and Croft would get it right about one thing.
It's not just the DRS zones or getting a better exit off the corner. That hairpin before the first back stretch is faster than the apex for the slowest part of that "chicane" between the two stretches. So, going onto the shorter, second stretch, the physical gap between cars actually opens up more than when coming off the hairpin.
Maybe just have the one DRS zone. Open up that left/right chicane. (The whole area is already paved, anyway.) And get rid of that silly chicane leading into the hairpin to give a real chance for something to happen there.
I gotta say, it's kind of a weird feeling watching a race at this track right after watching the Supercars at Newcastle.
