Track character — Madring
The calendar's newest circuit, laid out around Madrid's IFEMA district — a hybrid street/permanent layout with a huge banked corner as its signature feature. With limited historical data, teams arrive with simulation guesses rather than proven setups, which widens the competitive spread.
