In my opinion bad. The last two corners where pretty much the most spectacular part of the circuit, now the last turn won't be as fast as previously

Why didn't they just lengthen the short chute before the final turn and then that would allow them to tighten up the last corner, maybe even make it come back on itself a few degrees. Would force the cars to brake harder into the final turn - washing off alot more speed - but at least we wouldn't have a stupid chicane.

Bad modifications...
I don´t think plaguing circuits with chicanes is the best solution, and Barcelona is a quite dull one. If you can overtake at the chicane, it´s ok, but how would you do it in this case? Before this we saw that stange modification at La Caixa, and it was "interesting" to see how pilots were trying to take it as fast as possible, and each of them used a different way. Not the most exciting feature, but at least we could see SOMETHING. With this chicane... nothing.Cuando el grajo vuela bajo hace un frío del carajo
Which means:

It's good. F1 cars couldn't follow closely onto the straight because of the turbulence with the old design. This design should allow them to come onto the straight much closer to each other, meaning we should see some more overtaking at the first corner.
