Madrid wants to become the Spanish capital of F1. The city government, which has over three million inhabitants, has sent a letter of intent to the Formula One Group led by Stefano Domenicali, putting forward its candidacy to host a GP in the coming years. Spain already has its own race on the calendar, which has always been held on the Montmelò circuit, near Barcelona, also the scene of the MotoGP races. The Catalan organizers have renewed their contract with F1 until 2026, so a derby with Madrid, a historic rival already in football, is expected.

The proposal will be evaluated by F1, which is receiving such applications from all over the world, reflecting a growing interest from the public that populates the circuits and those who follow sport on TV. This year there was the debut of Miami, which organized a GP in the city area where the stadium of the Dolphins football team is located, and in 2023 it will be the turn of Las Vegas, also in the USA. While the Vietnam GP has disappeared, which should have been held in 2020 on a semi-permanent circuit already built in Hanoi, before everything stopped due to the pandemic (the area will be redeveloped).

In the case of Madrid, the idea should be to run on a circuit drawn between the streets of the city, as is already the case in Monte Carlo and Singapore. And putting forward an application well in advance, perhaps thinking about 2026 and beyond, is completely normal, considering that Miami took 5 years to finalize its project. F1 confirms to be healthy, after the relaunch started years ago with the arrival of the new American owners of Liberty Media, and the world duel between Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari and Max Verstappen’s Red Bull is giving a further boost in this 2022, thanks to the return to victory of the red in two grand prix.
