The reason always cited is that it "isn't safe enough". They would look to the lack of run-off at Turns 10 and 11 in particular. Then again, the refurbishment going back to 2000-02 walled in the front stretch and made Turns 12 and 1 more abrupt. It also means Turn 1 now has basically no run-off, so I kind of fail to see the merit of their complaint in light of that. Not to mention, that's where Bob Wollek lost it into the embankment in a Porsche 962 back in 1987.
