The Circuit de Catalunya-Barcelona has shared image of the new look Turn 10, as McLaren announced a contract extension with CNBC, while Sauber did so with Singha Motorsport for the 2021 F1 season.

The work to revamp Turn 10 at Circuit de Catalunya-Barcelona has seemingly finished after they shared an image of the same on its social media. The work has been for several weeks now as they wish to help increase the circuit’s safety, for both F1 and MotoGP races.

The decision was taken in consultation with the FIA and FIM, to alter Turn 10, turning it into a hairpin-like corner. The hope is that the corner will limit crashes, whether in F1 and or MotoGP. They have retained the old-school run-off with marbles instead of plain cement.

Here’s how the work underwent as shared by Circuit de Catalunya-Barcelona:
