The Madring
Nobody has ever raced here
Round 14 of the 2026 Formula 1 World Championship is the first Spanish Grand Prix held inside Madrid, and the first in the capital region since Jarama in 1981. Twenty-two turns through Valdebebas, part public road and part purpose-built, wrapped around the IFEMA exhibition halls next to Barajas Airport. Jarno Zaffelli designed it. Ground was broken in April 2025 and Formula 3 ran on it for the first time three weeks ago.

What is La Monumental?
Turn 12. A banked right-hander roughly 550 metres long at a 24% gradient — about 13.5 degrees, the FIA maximum — long enough to be a sector on its own, with grandstands built up the rim. Cars are expected to approach 340 km/h, around 211 mph, on the quickest sections.
Does pole matter here?
Nobody knows. There is no prior Formula 1 data for this circuit — no lap record, no overtaking history, no pole-to-win rate. Barcelona converted pole to victory at one of the highest rates on the calendar, but this is a different animal: walls, two tunnels, a banked corner, and 2026 cars running active aero and a 50/50 hybrid split. Treat anyone confident about this weekend with suspicion.
Who is favoured?
Mercedes. Kimi Antonelli leads on 267 points and won at Monza from 19th on the grid; George Russell is second on 201. Lewis Hamilton took the Barcelona round earlier this season and sits third on 191. Carlos Sainz is Madrid-born, is the circuit's ambassador, and gave feedback on the layout during design — but Williams have 11 points all season, so a points finish is the realistic ceiling. Isack Hadjar is expected to miss a third straight round with a fractured wrist, keeping Liam Lawson at Red Bull and Yuki Tsunoda at Racing Bulls.
Our model has been graded seven times this season and has never scored above 7 out of 20. At Monza it managed 2 — it called Russell, Leclerc and Hamilton, and the race was won from nineteenth. A circuit with no history gives it nothing to lean on. If there was ever a round to beat it, this is the one.
