Madrid's new Formula 1 circuit is facing opposition from residents ahead of the city's first Spanish Grand Prix, with campaigners warning that noise from the Madring circuit could disrupt nearby communities.
The controversy has emerged days before the inaugural Madrid Grand Prix, scheduled for 11 to 13 September 2026. Residents living near the circuit have raised concerns about noise levels recorded during testing, while organisers face pressure to show that the event can operate without causing unacceptable disruption.
