Sports News] According to reports from Spanish media, there are plans being
formulated to hold a street F1 racing event in Madrid, the capital of Spain,
and this plan may come to fruition before 2026. FIA President Sulayem has
confirmed that the plan is indeed under development, but it is still in the
planning stages with relevant departments, and there is still a long way to go
before its realization. If this plan materializes, it would be exciting news
for Spanish fans, as it would mean that Spain could host two Formula 1
races—one at the New Madrid Circuit and the other at the original Circuit de
Catalunya in Barcelona. It has been reported that if F1 returns to Madrid in
the coming years, the race would likely be situated around the IFEMA Convention
Center, near the exhibition center pavilion, and in close proximity to the new
semi-permanent track being constructed at Barajas Airport. However, it is worth
considering the possibility that once the new track is completed, the Circuit
de Catalunya in Barcelona may be abandoned, as the allure of the new track
could draw fans’ attention away from the existing circuit, shifting the focus
entirely to Madrid.
