    I'm probably in the minority, but I prefer the current layout now. I think @Platy does too.
    Yeah I do too.

    For the track owners, it makes sense to have the new one. The old track took up so much land so apparently it cost a bomb to keep it going. The new track takes up about half the space, and there's better overtaking opportunities too I think on the new one.
    There are only really 3 overtaking opportunities (turn 2, the hairpin and turn 13), the old one had all of the chicanes plus the current turn 13. I can see your point about the financial situation though, yet I would of thought it would be just as cheap to build more grandstands on the old circuit than to rip it up entirely and start effectively from scratch.

    It was still wrong to destroy the old circuit - leaving the Monza banking didn't do any harm did it!
    So what you're saying is the old track had 1 extra overtaking opportunity?
    1 more is better than no more!
