How twin tunnels and banked corners will make Madrid F1 track distinctive
The new Formula One track in Madrid will feature a combination of street circuit roads in the exhibition building area and a section of permanent track on adjacent land. These two parts will be connected by tunnels that pass underneath an elevated highway. The hybrid nature of the venue is comparable to the Miami track. Craig Wilson, F1’s head of vehicle performance, has played a key role in the layout design. There have been multiple track models and investigations before finalizing the concept. The next steps involve detailed design development, FIA submission, safety assessments, and achieving a Grade 1 track license. The looping Turn 10 could potentially be banked for better overtaking opportunities, and two other sections of the track may become landmarks. Overall, the track is expected to be a good challenge for the drivers.
