Despite criticism and doubts from fans on social media, Sainz remains unwavering in his belief that the Madrid Formula 1 Grand Prix at the ‘Madring’ will be nothing short of spectacular.
The Madring circuit, a blend of city streets and purpose-built sections, has faced backlash online, with some calling it “terrible” and lacking “soul.” However, Sainz, appointed as an ambassador for the circuit, is quick to defend its potential, likening it to the thrill of circuits like Baku and Jeddah.
With a vision to captivate both drivers and spectators, Sainz emphasizes the importance of charisma and character in a circuit. He assures fellow F1 drivers not to worry, promising to contribute to creating a thrilling racing experience at the ‘Madring.’
One of the standout features of the ‘Madring’ is La Monumental, a steep right-hand banking inspired by Zandvoort’s Luyendyk corner. This daring corner boasts a 24 percent gradient and is sure to test the skills of drivers as they navigate it at high speeds.
Beyond the adrenaline of the track, Sainz teases a grand spectacle off the circuit, with plans for concerts and activations to enhance the overall Grand Prix experience in Madrid. With construction set to commence soon, anticipation is building for what could potentially become a marquee event on the F1 calendar.
