The last spring GP of this championship will be held on the Catalunya circuit, which for the first time since 1991 will not be the venue for the Spanish Grand Prix. This, in fact, will take place on the new city track of the Iberian capital, Madring, with the work in progress getting closer and closer to completion before the arrival of F1 in the first half of September. Seventh track in history to host the Spanish GP (where the Formula 2 and Formula 3 races will also take place), the works are now completed. Barring unforeseen circumstances, in fact, the entire circuit will be completely asphalted next week, with over 90% already completed. Once these works, which are concentrated in the starting straight area, are finished, the Madring will be ready for the final safety and homologation checks. A new step in the construction of MADRING: the main road is asphalted. 523 meters that will convert the climb into one of the key points of the Spanish GP. From the pole until the first corner there will be 252 meters before a spectacular braking where the emotion will begin… pic.twitter.com/GxA6FVjUSA— MADRING (@madring_oficial) May 4, 2026 As visible from the images published on the circuit’s official social channel, in addition to the asphalt, the Pit Building will also be completed in a short time, a three-storey building almost 20 meters high which in addition to the modular boxes for the teams, it will also host the VIP Paddock Club with panoramic terraces.
