F1 confirmed a significant track layout change to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya and we want to know your thoughts!

The Spanish Grand Prix venue will feature two fewer corners this season following the removal of the controversial and much-derided last-sector chicane.

The removal of this chicane headlined a raft of changes that are being made ahead of this year's June running, with the circuit to revert back to its previous layout with two flowing right-hand bends ending the lap.
