By doing this, they took the soul out of a very special track. The blue and red paint made it even worse.

This is how it used to be:
it was the thing i was thinking during FP2.. actually taking out that chicane d create a contradiction for teams for setting up the car for that straight or the corners.. track d need downforce except that part and actually things could go better here.. if safety is the concern that part could be fixed anyway..
