Residents of the Hortaleza district in northwestern Madrid have staged a rebellion against the newly arrived Formula 1 circuit, decrying the event as the neighborhood's biggest wound in an increasingly uninhabitable city. The race weekend has brought intense disruptions, including severe noise, pollution, and traffic jams, while local public services reportedly deteriorate.

Impacted residents living as close as 37 meters from the track report that the newly constructed walls fail to block the disruptive noise, serving only to prevent people from watching the races for free. The locals express deep frustration over the ongoing ordeal as the event unfolds, contrasting the excitement of fans hoping to see driver Fernando Alonso with the daily hardship faced by the surrounding community.
