I don't know. But the old chicane was an abomination and I am glad to see the back of it.
Large run offs seem to have fallen out of fashion, hence Singapore, Baku and all the other new street circuits with very fast corners and absolutely no run off. Compared to those newish tracks the Barcelona track looks very safe to my untrained eyes, last corner included.
