    I don't think Massa is totally at fault for this one. In this onboard video Michael consistently hits the 'baguettes' (including the one that Massa hit during the race) with no ill effects. It...

    I would disregard the first Autosport article (link in the OP) as it is factually wrong.

    I think the DRS zone ought to be the straight between turns 10 and 11.
    Turns 9 and 10 spread the cars out a little and the DRS would allow one to catch up to potentially set up a move through 11 and...

    I think 120kg is an error — I have heard peak downforce quoted at around 1200kg overall.

    No. After the queue is formed the cars are waved past the SC until the race leader is at the head of the queue. The cars which pass then join the back of the queue.
