I would think so. I don't see the need to remove the one tree since there is a whole row of them, but moving the barrier a few feet in front of the trees and then lining the barrier with tires would work.
Obviously as the track moves closer to the barrier further down as they enter the Mulsanne, tires wouldn't be practical, but as some have said, some sort of SAFER type barrier would be good, and the track isn't at such a sharp angle in relation to the barrier at this point anyway.
