Formula 1 | Juncadella rejects the layout of the Madrid circuit
"I can't say what I think, otherwise they'll take me to jail," joked the Spanish driver
F1 GP Madrid Juncadella – Daniel Juncadella, interviewed by the Spanish media, did not express sweet words towards the new Madrid circuit, a track which starting from the 2026 season will become the official home of the Spanish Grand Prix. The Iberian, covertly, did not hide his doubts about the circuit, which will be a semi-city circuit that will wind around the IFEMA exhibition area. A totally different race concept compared to the current one, given that the race - today - is held on a highly technical track like that of the Circuit Catalunya, in Barcelona, the hometown of the current driver involved in the DTM.
Juncadella cuts short on the track
“The Madrid circuit that will host the Spanish Grand Prix starting from the 2026 Formula 1 season? I honestly won't say what I think. I will not do that. It wouldn't be nice and also they would probably take me to prison.”
The characteristics of the Madrid circuit
The track, semi-city and located in Valdebebas, will have a length of 5,474 km and will have 20 curves. One part will run along the streets frequented daily by the locals, while another part will be built and used ad-hoc for the race weekend. There are also two tunnels and an elevated curve. Furthermore, one of the strong points of the new facility will be the location, given that the track can be reached by metro from the city center and in a few minutes from the nearby Barajas airport.
