Madrid conquista la Fórmula 1 con 350.000 asistentes en el estreno del Madring en el Mundial

El Gran Premio de España luce las gradas llenas en su regreso a la capital tras 45 años, aunque deja detalles por pulir como los incómodos escalones de tierra de la pelouse, la entrada general sin asiento asignado

Madrid conquista la Fórmula 1 con 350.000 asistentes en el estreno del Madring en el Mundial

Madrid has once again hosted a Formula 1 race at the Madring circuit, nearly 50 years after its previous visit. During this weekend, between Friday and today, 350,000 spectators filled the venue, a number significantly higher than the 25,000 who attended the previous event at Jarama in 1981. The Gran Premio de España concluded with a victory for Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) in a race characterized by limited overtaking due to the circuit's narrow layout.

The event showcased the largest paddock in Formula 1 and met its attendance predictions in a city where hotel prices surged by 70% compared to last year, according to SiteMender. Despite logistical challenges and some remaining issues such as the uneven turf and general admission area with no assigned seats, the first edition of the ten races organized by Liberty Media, the entity owning Formula 1 rights, operated smoothly.
