Barcelona is homologating the non-chicane layout of the circuit to FIA Grade 1 specification, meaning F1 will have the option of using it from next year.
The Spanish venue’s current Grade 1 configuration, which features a tricky chicane before the final corner, has long come under criticism for not being very conducive to racing.
F1 has long looked at the idea of going back to the original version in the last sector before the chicane was introduced in 2007, but plans have never moved forward much."It's something that we've been looking at for a little while," Masi said. Once that homologation process is complete, it will be up to the individual championships that race on the track, including F1, to decide if they want to continue using the current chicane version or change.
However, riders were not happy with the surface change of the new design, which had been moved further up the track for that year.
