I'd say 130R or Pouhon. Corners that previously took balls to be flat, but are now well below the cars' capabilities.

I think Copse and Maggots and Becketts also suffered. Generally anything high speed where they don't have charge.

130R was neutered years ago after McNish's crash there. It's obviously worse with the current cars, but it hasn't been a proper challenge for a long time.

Pouhon for me. Hamilton taking it flat out in the W11 was breathtaking. Now that the top speed is so much less it's all a bit pedestrian
