FORMULA ONE have wielded the axe on one of its most iconic corners. Spanish Grand Prix venue Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya has seen it’s final sector altered so it no longer includes the chicane at turns 14 and 15. Instead, the circuit will now end with two high-speed corners, reverting back to the layout used before the chicane’s introduction in 2007. Masi pushed for changes to the layout back in 2021, saying at the time: “It’s something that we’ve been looking at for a little while. The new layout will see the circuit length shortened to 4.657km from 4.675km, an 18metre reduction.
