Why 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. The rush to establish the Grand Prix in Madrid, coupled with inadequate design considerations, has raised concerns about the decision-making processes within F1. 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.

Stop is the car stationary in its box — the figure the sport quotes — and is recorded only from 2024, incompletely. Pit lane is entry to exit, runs from 2011, and depends on the circuit as much as the crew.
