Madring, a very careful circuit: drivers overcome a first contact with the track marked by caution
Arvid Lindblad, from Racing Bulls, was involved in the only accident of the day involving the F1 single-seaters in Madrid, the most dangerous event on the calendar.
The Formula 1 championship has returned to Madrid after 45 years. The new circuit, located among the IFEMA pavilions, has only been tested by a few drivers, including Carlos Sainz, Lewis Hamilton, and Charles Leclerc. They got a glimpse of the track through a filming day and simulator sessions, which are crucial in today's technologically advanced F1 for testing new features and circuits. The simulator tests are especially important due to economic restrictions.
