The FIA has confirmed that at this weekend's Turkish Grand Prix, drivers will be able to activate their movable rear wings (DRS) shortly before Turn 11 at the very beginning of Sector 3.
This means the DRS will be activated in the fast section leading to Turn 12 where Red Bull drivers Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber had their controversial coming together last year.
The DRS detection zone is in the braking zone for Turn 9, which, of course, follows the notorious 200 degree Turn 8, already regarded as one of the sport's truly great corners.
Drivers are only allowed to use the movable rear wing if they are within one second of the car ahead at the designated line going into the zone.
Apart from routine maintenance, there are no significant changes to the Istanbul Park Circuit for this year's race, while the FIA has revealed that Derek Warwick will be one of the stewards.
