VIDEO: This is what the new Madring will look like for the drivers

 

What will the Spanish Grand Prix look like for drivers from 2026 onwards? The organisation behind the Grand Prix, which will be held in the Spanish capital Madrid from next year instead of Barcelona, ​​has already released a simulation of the newest circuit on the 2026 calendar, the Madring.

In January it was announced that the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya will no longer be the home of the Spanish Grand Prix from 2026. The street circuit in the Spanish capital Madrid, the Madring, will take over. The circuit is approximately 5.5 kilometers long, and the expected time for pole position is 1 minute and 32 seconds. The organization behind the Grand Prix now gives a first glimpse of what the newest street circuit will look like for the drivers.

Barcelona

The street circuit through the Spanish capital replaces the classic Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. However, the race in Barcelona will not immediately disappear from the Formula 1 calendar after this season. In 2026, the race will be organized alongside the race in Madrid under a name that has yet to be announced.
