The recent announcement that Madrid will host the Spanish Grand Prix instead of Barcelona starting in 2026 indicates a shift towards Formula 1 favoring longer-term agreements with race organizers. This change raises uncertainties for nine traditional circuits that have traditionally relied on short-term deals with F1. On one hand, the move to Madrid reflects F1 aim to expand globally and attract new fans, as the city is a popular tourist destination with a vibrant backdrop for racing. A street race in Madrid could generate significant interest, enhancing the sport’s global appeal. However, replacing Barcelona, a fixture on the F1 calendar since 1991 with Madrid raises concerns about F1 commitment to its heritage and longstanding relationships with traditional circuits.
