Madrid’s new Madring circuit previewed before first F1 Spanish Grand Prix
Formula 1 and multiple motorsport outlets have previewed the Madring circuit before its debut as the venue for the Spanish Grand Prix. Reports say Madrid is set for a 10-year run hosting the event, with the race scheduled over 57 laps on a layout expected to pose a significant challenge for teams and drivers.
Formula 1 has released new images of the Madring as the Spanish Grand Prix approaches, offering an updated look at the circuit before its first appearance on the F1 calendar.
According to the reports, Madrid is beginning a 10-year tenure as host of the Spanish Grand Prix, taking over that title from Barcelona as the latter moves to a biennial role. The move is described as part of Formula 1’s effort to bring races closer to major urban population centres.
The race is set to run for 57 laps. Autosport and Motorsport.com both describe the circuit as a complex, two-part layout that is expected to take time for drivers and teams to fully understand from an engineering perspective.
