José Vicente de los Mozos: "Formula 1 is going to be an economic engine for Madrid"

José Vicente de los Mozos, president of IFEMA Madrid's Executive Committee, expects the Spanish Grand Prix to have an economic impact of €467 million in Madrid. The event, which will take place from September 11-13, is expected to create 10,724 direct jobs and thousands of indirect jobs, with 80,000 out-of-town spectators attending.

The Grand Prix's organization was privately funded, and De los Mozos hopes it will serve as a showcase to attract new fairs, congresses, and business to Madrid. The event is part of a 10-year contract, and De los Mozos believes it will make Madrid a reference point for international events.
