Madring's own designer doubts big changes are coming
2

Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, located in Montmeló north of Barcelona, was inaugurated in 1991 just in time to host that year\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Spanish Grand Prix. Its 4.657 km, 14-corner layout offers a representative mix of low, medium, and high-speed corners, making it the traditional venue for Formula 1 pre-season testing. The original flowing final sector was restored for 2023, replacing the slow chicane added in 2007 and re-establishing the lap\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s rhythm.
