Madrid conquers Formula 1 with 350,000 attendees at the premiere of the Madring in the World Championship
The Spanish Grand Prix boasts full stands in its return to the capital after 45 years, although it leaves details to be polished, such as the uncomfortable earth steps of the pelouse, the general entrance without assigned seating.
Madrid hosted a Formula 1 race for the first time in nearly 50 years on Sunday, with 350,000 people attending over the course of the weekend at the Madring circuit. The event, the Spanish Grand Prix, saw Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes emerge victorious. The circuit, built by Ifema, had a large paddock and full grandstands, but some issues with the venue were noted, including an uncomfortable general admission area.
The event was the first of ten agreed with Liberty Media, the owner of F1 rights. Hotel prices in the city rose 70% from the previous year.
