F1 Nation · F1 Explains: Making the Madring · 11 Sep 2026 podcast

But now we're going to hear from Carlos Jimenez. voice-verified

He is the Madring's chief operating officer. voice-verified

I spoke to him a little earlier in the week to find out how this track has come to life. voice-verified

how did you go from an idea, a dream almost, four years ago, to the reality of us just being hours away now from the first Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid of this modern era? voice-verified

Yeah, it's all popped up very quickly. voice-verified

And talk to us about the design of the track. voice-verified

What were you trying to achieve with the actual circuit itself? voice-verified

Because you've also got with Formula One, the paddock, you've got grandstands, you've got room for thousands and thousands of people. voice-verified

Was that a challenge to fit all that in, in the heart of Madrid, which anyone who's ever been will tell you is a busy city? voice-verified

Well, I'm very excited to see that. voice-verified

And let's talk about the circuit itself. voice-verified

So many tracks on our calendar have their iconic sections, their iconic corners. voice-verified

Of course, we've got the likes of Maggots and Beckys at Silverstone. voice-verified

What everybody is talking about for this race, and excuse my poor Spanish accent here, Carlos, is La Monumental. voice-verified

Talk to us about that corner and what's the aim of it to have that sort of talking point corner that so many other tracks on the calendar have? voice-verified

And of course, we love a bit of strategy, we love a strategic battle, but all Formula One fans want to know around the world, can we see close, exciting, on-track racing on this circuit? voice-verified

Well, we're very excited, Carlos. voice-verified

And you mentioned what a long journey it's been putting on any major sporting event is let alone building a Formula One Grand Prix from scratch. voice-verified

What will it mean to you when you're able to see cars on track for the first time? voice-verified

and then i know what you all like you organizers of grand prixs the race will end on sunday you'll have a brief moment of celebration and then you'll be thinking about next year and it all goes again voice-verified
