In the round-up: Formula 1’s DRS zones will be branded at this year’s Las Vegas Grand Prix.
In brief
F1 gets first DRS sponsor
Williams sponsor Duracell will also lend its name to the DRS zones when Formula 1 returns to the Las Vegas Strip Circuit for the venue’s second round of the world championship next month. It is the first time F1 has added branding to a DRS zone. The brand’s logos will be illuminated using LED boards and incorporated into trackside signage and a nearby roof.
F1 introduced DRS in 2011 but will drop it at the end of next season. It will be replaced by a new system called Manual Override Mode.

“We want this design to spark excitement, inspire our fans, and attract partners who share our drive for bold innovation and fearless competition.”
