The Formula 1 Madrid Grand Prix is held on a temporary street circuit located at the IFEMA exhibition center in the Spanish capital. The track is located in the Valdebebas area, next to the IFEMA Madrid exhibition center and very close to Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport, making the event easily accessible and perfectly connected to the city.

1. Gold 1 and 2 Grandstand: located in front of the start/finish line, they offer a view of the start and the first meters of the race. From here, the cars reach over 320 km/h before braking sharply into the first corner, a key overtaking point, and continue into the second turn leading to the fast Hortaleza corner, the lowest point of the circuit.
2. Bronze 3 Grandstand: located in the middle of a long straight, it allows spectators to enjoy the cars at high speed and witness spectacular overtakes.
3. Bronze 4 and Silver 5 Grandstands: located at the end of the straight, they offer a privileged view of how the drivers brake sharply to tackle a series of technical corners. From here, spectators can see the approach to the very fast corner on Ribera del Sena Street, where the cars slow from 340 km/h to just 80 km/h, making this section a key overtaking point.
4. Bronze 6, Silver 7, and Silver 8 Grandstands: located in a technical section of the circuit, they allow spectators to see two consecutive turns one right-hand and one left-hand where drivers reduce speed to tackle the banked corner. An ideal spot to appreciate the skill and precision of the cars.
5. Gold 9 and Silver 10 Grandstands: located in front of the long, progressive corner known as “La Monumental,” which has a semicircular shape. From here, spectators can watch the drivers tackle a technical challenge lasting about 6 seconds, surrounded by thousands of fans.
6. Silver 11, 12, and 13 Grandstands: located on the straight after the “Monumental” corner, they allow spectators to see how drivers accelerate out of the turn and brake before the next section, offering a clear view of speed and technique in this part of the circuit.

7. Bronze 14, Bronze 15, and Silver 16 Grandstands: located in the very fast sector known as “Las Enlazadas de Valdebebas,” they allow spectators to see the cars take Turns 14, 15, and 16 at full speed before braking sharply into Turn 17, a key overtaking point where speed drops from 280 to 100 km/h.

The IFEMA Circuit is approximately 5.474 kilometers long.

The number of laps in the Spanish Grand Prix may vary depending on FIA regulations and the season schedule. It is planned that 57 laps will be completed during the Grand Prix.

The Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid was held at the historic Jarama circuit between 1968 and 1981, on a short and technical track designed by John Hugenholtz. During those years, the race saw some memorable moments, such as the last edition in 1981, when Gilles Villeneuve achieved one of the most legendary victories in Formula 1 by resisting pressure from five cars for much of the race. After that stage, Jarama was left off the calendar due to safety and capacity issues, and Formula 1 did not return to Madrid. More than four decades later, the Spanish capital will regain the race in 2026 with the new IFEMA urban-hybrid circuit, marking the return of the top category of motorsport to the city.

Yes, due to the high speed of Formula 1 cars and the noise generated by the engines, attendees are advised to wear hearing protection, such as earplugs, to enjoy the event safely and comfortably.
