The Race F1 Podcast · Spanish GP: Was Lando Norris robbed + How to fix the Madring · 13 Sep 2026 podcast

I think it would have been worth... voice-verified

from early on in the project thinking about whether something like that might have been possible but there are other factors aren't there that contribute to the processional nature of the race voice-verified

well that's what we should get on to next because jj cooper asks if there's anything that can be done to fix the track or we doomed to sit through unwatchable processions here for years to come because of course madrid has a 10-year contract so john there's i think three corners they're looking at to change aren't they voice-verified

Yeah, there are places on the track where they're a little bit confined by the geography and that kind of thing. voice-verified

I think one thing I would say when it comes to new tracks, there probably should be quite early in the piece some kind of sort of push or communications through F1 and the FIA about trying to make sure if it's a clean sheet of paper track, which this one was. voice-verified

partly there were some limitations of the ephemer exhibition center etc but you should have well here's a few guidelines that will up the probability of there being a good overtaking place again any sort of set of guidelines or rules they're never universal but voice-verified

like i say there's a long straight big break wide entry to a corner that never goes out of fashion in racing and whatever the rules are that that's going to help the chance so maybe that's something that where possible should try to be engineered into designs and then you say right we want to try and do this this is something we want you to look at and then you look at if it is possible with the topography of the location etc voice-verified

John, we've got a question from Manu Err who says, do you have any good new nicknames for this track? voice-verified

Bad Ring, Bore Ring, La Monumental Failure? voice-verified

I think I did La Monumental Failure in the intro to the podcast we did for a preview for this. voice-verified

So I think I've coined that one, but... voice-verified

Excellent. voice-verified

Well, there's a question from Ivo, which I think probably, Diego, your best place to answer. voice-verified

So there's lots of empty seats in the grandstands. voice-verified

What kind of atmosphere did you experience? voice-verified

I'm wondering if you failed to build up the atmosphere. voice-verified

I wonder if the trackside commentary was the weakness. voice-verified

Just people got bored and walked off? voice-verified

I was slightly surprised because when I really noticed it was on Friday when I was out trackside. voice-verified

And I did think the grandstands were quite patchy on Friday, which surprised me a bit. voice-verified
