    A concrete wall would be more effective in stopping cars from running wide.

    If they had been placed perpendicular to the track (and not parallel to it) the yellow bananas would be far more "dissuasive".

    Let’s not complain too much about this track, the Castellet circuit has become even worse!

    4. Will Barcelona’s track modifications improve the show? https://www.crash.net/f1/feature/977159/1/five-f1-talking-points-heading-spanish-gp

    Turn 10 at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya has been reprofiled for this year.

    The new Turn 10 corner is a modified version of the old track layout used in 1991.

    While it doesn’t look too impressive on paper, the acute Turn 10 corner has been modified slightly to predominately improve driver (and riders in MotoGP) safety.

    The reprofiling of the corner means braking isn’t as heavy, meaning one less corner for potential overtakes.

    Barcelona would be better off ditching the final chicane, but that doesn't seem likely based on safety grounds.

    It's probably the last corner that needed modifying on this track! If anything the left hander after it would benefit far more from modification, something like this:

    It wold tighten the rest of the field up much more for T1, in fact, it would actually allow a proper overtaking spot in the new area.

    Wouldn't even need to be a high wall...just an 18" high vertical curb that would break any car the hit it. And only on the outside of those turns that are the issue.
