FIA monitoring Madring as president casts ‘adventure’ verdict ahead of Spanish GP

The Madring, a new street circuit in Madrid, will host the Spanish Grand Prix, replacing the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem has expressed optimism about the event despite acknowledging complications in the homologation process. He will be present at the race, which is set to take place next week following the Italian Grand Prix.

The Madring features notable elements such as the banked Turn 12, which is expected to be a highlight for drivers. During a recent Formula 3 test, the circuit faced numerous red flags, indicating challenges in its layout. Overall, the FIA is closely monitoring the situation as the inaugural Formula 1 event approaches.
