Domenicali: Madrid F1 deal doesn’t mean Barcelona track has no future
The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya has been the home of the Spanish Grand Prix since 1991, but it appears that Madrid is set to take over as the host in the future. However, Barcelona still has a chance to secure a second race in Spain, as there are discussions in place to extend the collaboration with the city. Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali emphasized that there is healthy interest in F1 in Spain, with a new broadcast deal signed until at least 2026. The push for a race in Madrid reflects the overall health of the series, with many potential host cities showing interest. The new venue in Madrid will be built in the next couple of years and will prioritize the fans’ whole experience. This deal with Madrid takes F1’s contracts to a long-term approach, providing stability and visibility for all parties involved.
