Formula 1 could move to the Spanish capital after the sport's supremo Stefano Domenicali confirmed talks over hosting a race in Madrid.
Barcelona has long been the home of the Spanish Grand Prix, but officials in Madrid are working on plans to create a new venue on the F1 calendar.
A move to Madrid will not be imminent, however, with Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya contracted to host the showpiece event until at least 2026.
