Formula One has officially announced that Madrid will host the Spanish Grand Prix starting from the 2026 season, with a 10-year contract in place worth £400MILLION. The new venue, which will feature a hybrid 5.47-kilometer circuit with both street and non-street sections, will be constructed around the IFEMA fairgrounds and convention center, passing by Real Madrid’s training complex. The circuit will include unique elements such as a banked corner and tunnel sections. This move ends Barcelona's current tenure as the Spanish GP host, although F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali has mentioned that Barcelona could still have a future on the F1 calendar. The Madrid race marks the return of F1 to the Spanish capital after a 45-year absence and is expected to provide a significant economic boost to the city.
