Changes have been made to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya for the coming season

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.
