via thejudge13.comWhy F1’s latest circuit was ‘La Monumental’ disasterThe newly inaugurated Madring circuit in Madrid, hosting the Spanish Grand Prix, has been met with widespread criticism for its lack of excitement and overtaking opportunities. Despite being marketed as a thrilling venue with a notable banked turn, the race turned out to be a dull affair, with drivers expressing their disappointment over the track layout. Notably, Gabriel Bortoleto and Lando Norris voiced their frustrations, highlighting the processional nature of the race and the challenges posed by the circuit's design.
The FIA is reportedly aware of the shortcomings of the Madring and is considering modifications for future events.

As the sport enjoys rising popularity, the disconnect between fan expectations and the reality of the racing experience at new circuits like Madring could pose challenges for F1's image moving forward.

via AutosportWhy the 2026 F1 season won’t end in Las VegasThe 2026 Formula 1 season will not conclude in Las Vegas due to scheduling conflicts with the Thanksgiving holiday and ongoing geopolitical issues in the Middle East. F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali has indicated that decisions regarding the Qatar and Abu Dhabi races will be made by mid-September, and if canceled, they will be replaced by a European race rather than adding another event in the US. Imola is currently the frontrunner to host the season finale, given its favorable weather conditions compared to Las Vegas during that time of year.
Domenicali emphasized the importance of avoiding competition with the NFL, which has multiple games scheduled over the Thanksgiving weekend. Additionally, the Las Vegas Grand Prix has faced challenges since its inception, including a class-action lawsuit settlement related to the 2023 event. As F1 navigates these complexities, it aims to ensure a successful conclusion to the season in Europe.

via grandprix.comLas Vegas GP settles lawsuit over 2023 drain-cover chaosThe Las Vegas Grand Prix and its parent company, Liberty Media, have reached a settlement of over $3 million regarding a class-action lawsuit that arose from issues during the inaugural 2023 race. The lawsuit stemmed from a loose water-valve cover that caused significant damage to cars and led to a lengthy delay during the first practice session, affecting many spectators who were unable to witness the resumed session.
Despite the settlement, neither Liberty Media nor the Las Vegas GP admitted any wrongdoing. The lawsuit initially sought $5 billion, but part of it was dismissed in early 2025, allowing for an amended complaint that ultimately resulted in the settlement agreement. Fans holding specific tickets may receive compensation as part of this resolution.grandprix.comFri 24 Jul · 15:38 UTC
