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.

Did anyone watch the Ted Kravitz walk after the race? To be honest it was more interesting than the race itself as he interviews Mika Hakkinen, Kovalainen, Carlos Sainz, and the great Hermann Tilke himself who came across like a complete t--t. He refused to admit there was something wrong with the track and that they're only looking at doing a very small change to it. When Ted suggested no one can get close enough pass he turned it around claiming that a slower car following a faster car shouldn't be able to pass anyway. Then just brushed it off with some excuse when Ted said what about when it's a faster car behind a slower car and they still can't even get close.
Instead of changing the logo, perhaps Liberty need to look for a new track designer to work with.
Ted can be irritating at times, he looks like an utter fool always wearing those shorts, Sky Sports should demand he wear appropriate professional attire. But his interviews are decent.
