It’s a small revolution in the world of Formula 1®. After 40 years, the Spanish capital is back in the spotlight, much to the delight of European thrill-seekers. The new MADRING circuit will see the greatest champions take to the track on September 11 and 13, 2026, exactly one year from now. Fasten your seatbelts, because the tremors are likely to be felt all the way to Lyon!
Formula1®, the most spectacular sport of all time
In recent years, the excitement surrounding Formula 1® has never been greater. Firstly, the champions have reached performance levels with a degree of competitiveness never seen before, transforming the races into true ultra-sporting events. Secondly, the drivers have never been in the spotlight so much. From Max Verstappen to Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc, their aura extends far beyond the world of motorsport.
What’s more, off-track twists and turns, such as Lewis Hamilton ‘s arrival in the Ferrari team, are brilliant strokes of communication that maintain the suspense throughout the year. Finally, the worldwide success of the F1 film starring Brad Pitt, already the biggest commercial success of his career, has definitively set the trend: Formula 1® is now THE sport to watch.
Madrid back in the starting blocks of world motorsport
In the midst of this global ferment, the European scene has scored another victory with the return of Madrid to the Grand Prix loop, joining the very closed circle of host cities. The cards have been reshuffled.
Why are we talking about Madrid even in the capital of Gaul? Because, even if the GP circuit passes through Italy, Belgium or Monaco, there’s every reason to believe that, from Lyon, Madrid will remain the best option for attending a Grand Prix in the best possible conditions. For the impatient, you can now buy your tickets. Hurry, because tickets are going fast!
