What do you propose then??

MONZA...the fastest circuit on the current F1 calendar. The temple of speed and a wonderful F1 history.

BUT...instead on praise being heaped upon the last few of the superfast circuits, critism were thrown at the track in recent years. The most upon those 2 lousy chicanes being dangerous, unfair, stupid...

Drivers ALL think the chicanes su*k. So do Bernie, and so do the fans. So what do you propose for a change?

Personally, i would like to see the first two chicanes gone for good, but knowing the dangerous speeds that the cars would go to if the 2 chicanes are replaced by a long curve(though it'd be cool to watch), i think its a big impossibility. But the chicanes are in itself a huge danger. From 350km/h to 80km/h...imagine a smashup between a braking car and one with brake failure...Irvine had shivered at the thought!

So what i think should be done to change the circuit without losing its appeal to racing and history...

At Prima Variante, replace it with a nurburgring-sheild curve (a much faster chicane without the extreme braking involved) or a slightly slower and longer chicane like Spa's Les Fa**#** (the one before stavelot) and bring the entry point forward by 100m.

Then...get rid of Seconda variante totally, which means an unterrupted run from the exit of prima to Lesmo through a slightly repositioned curva biassono... This way, Monza would not be held by ugly and pathetically slow chicanes, but maintain it's safety and the overall speed being kept in check...

How about you?
