Brundle issues ‘that’ll be fast’ verdict on key F1 circuit change

Former F1 driver Martin Brundle has offered his instant reaction to the removal of the final chicane at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
The home of the Spanish Grand Prix has returned to its previous layout, last used in 2006, to improve racing spectacle.
The chicane was introduced to tackle the same issue in 2007, as well as increase driver safety, and whilst the latter was enhanced during the period, cars were strung out by the low-speed corners and reduced overtaking opportunity down the main straight.

Brundle response
Tweeting his thoughts after the change was announced, Sky Sports F1 pundit Brundle said: "That’ll be fast.
"Before power steering, it was challenging to physically hang onto an F1 car in that double right-hander combo."
