India, Sept. 11 -- Formula 1 heads to Madrid this weekend for something completely new: the first Spanish Grand Prix at the Madring. The 2026 race is the circuit's F1 debut, and there is already plenty of curiosity around how the cars will handle its tight corners, walls and the heavily banked La Monumental. First action will be held on Friday, September 11, which is today.

The weekend also comes with a fresh championship storyline. Kimi Antonelli arrives in Madrid after his brilliant comeback win at Monza, where he went from 19th on the grid to victory. The Mercedes driver leads George Russell by 66 points, while the rest of the field will get its first proper F1 test of the new Madrid track.
