Fernando Alonso Joins the Fight to Preserve Iconic F1 Venue

Spanish racing legend Fernando Alonso has stepped up to the plate as an ambassador for the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, a move aimed at securing the future of this iconic Formula 1 venue. Despite having a contract in place until the 2026 season, concerns loom over the fate of the circuit with the addition of a new street circuit in Madrid to the F1 calendar next season.

The Spanish Grand Prix has been a fixture at the Barcelona track since 1991, a track where Alonso has tasted victory twice, with his last triumph dating back to 2013. In a bid to raise global awareness about the circuit and support the development of young drivers, Alonso has embraced his new role as an ambassador with great enthusiasm.

Alonso emphasized the significance of the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, stating, “It is an honor and a privilege, and I am very happy to be an ambassador for Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, which is so special to me and to all Spanish fans, and which has given us so much joy.”

The venue has undergone upgrades to its facilities as part of efforts to ensure its long-term viability, a move that Alonso views as crucial for the track’s continued presence on the F1 calendar. He stressed, “It was necessary for the circuit to take this step in order to have a solid future and adapt to the current demands and standards of F1 and circuits in other countries.”

Alonso further added, “This has brought it up to level ten, with a promising future. In my opinion, it is imperative that Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya remains on the calendar, both for its facilities and for its tradition and roots in competition.”

The Formula 1 calendar features a variety of circuits, from urban tracks in major cities to state-of-the-art facilities in the Middle East. However, Alonso believes that historical circuits with deep-rooted traditions in F1 must not be overlooked. He emphasized the importance of maintaining safety standards on tracks while weighing all available options.

As the Spanish Grand Prix approaches, the spotlight shines on Alonso’s efforts to safeguard the legacy of the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya and ensure its continued presence in the world of Formula 1.
