The organizers of the Madrid Grand Prix have unveiled the future Spanish circuit through a video published on YouTube.
One of the most highly anticipated events of the 2026 season will undoubtedly be the Madrid Grand Prix. The circuit, which winds through the streets of the Spanish capital, is currently under construction. To give fans an idea of what it will be like to drive on this new addition to the Formula 1 calendar, the event’s organizers have released a new rendering. One thing is certain: drivers will have plenty of fun tackling the corners of the Iberian track.
A brand-new, futuristic layout, designed by the Italian firm Studio Dromo led by Jarno Zaffelli, was showcased in a 3D rendering. In terms of features, the “Madring” will be 5.4 km long and include a total of 22 corners — a real challenge for the new-generation cars debuting next season, which will be completely different from the ground-effect cars used over the past four years.
After the second straight, there’s a triple chicane section that brings back memories of the old Singapore layout, leading directly into the parabolic Monumental corner. Once past the heavily banked section, the circuit transitions into a medium-to-high-speed sector where aerodynamic efficiency will be crucial. The final part of the track features three right-angle turns, reminiscent of the Sochi layout.
The most eye-catching section of the circuit is without a doubt the “Monumental” — a high-banked, parabolic corner reminiscent of the Dutch Zandvoort circuit. As for the layout itself, the first two corners are said to be quite similar to those in Saudi Arabia, followed by a long straight where cars will come extremely close to the walls — a likely hotspot for overtaking.
An additional interesting detail concerns the pit lane exit, which closely resembles the one in Jeddah: after their pit stops, drivers can rejoin the track while bypassing the initial chicane — a factor that will reduce overall pit stop time.
