The new semi-urban Madring circuit in Madrid, designed between IFEMA and Valdebebas, made its debut as the host of the Spanish Grand Prix—contracted to hold the event until 2035—following a race weekend that involved a tight qualifying session and identified improvements pending for Sunday.
Italian Mercedes driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli won the fourteenth round of the Formula One World Championship at the new circuit, securing victory ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen and McLaren's Lando Norris. Antonelli's win significantly strengthened his championship lead, dealing a major blow to the rest of the field.
Conversely, Spanish drivers Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz experienced a difficult race day during the event's debut, contrasting with the successful outcome for the Mercedes driver at the newly established Madrid venue.
