For the first time since 2023, Formula 1 is set to make its debut on a brand-new circuit. The Madring, located in Madrid, will host the 2026 Spanish Grand Prix this weekend.
In line with many new circuits of the last 15 years, this is a so-called ‘street circuit’, although it is of a particular kind. Whilst it does incorporate sections of public road, part of it has been specifically designed to host Formula 1 races. In this respect, it follows in the footsteps of ‘contemporary’ semi-urban circuits such as Sochi, Jeddah or Miami.
