Layout for Madrid F1 debut revealed

The layout for the Madrid city circuit that will make its debut on the Formula 1 calendar in 2026 has been revealed.

Madrid's IFEMA exhibition centre, situated in the under-construction Valdebebas development in the north east of the Spanish capital, is the base for the circuit, which is being dubbed the 'Madring'.

It will not be a conventional city street race but is expected to be more of a hybrid set-up akin to the Miami GP, utilising what F1 has previously described as "street and non-street sections".

Initial projections were for a 1m32s qualifying lap of a 20-turn, 3.39-mile layout.

The version revealed on Friday, which included an onboard simulation video of the complete track, is 3.36 miles long with 22 corners.
