Race Recap
Andrea Kimi Antonelli took the win for Mercedes from second on the grid, converting a clean start into a race lead he never gave back. Lando Norris had taken pole but had to settle for third at the flag, with Max Verstappen splitting the two of them in second. George Russell set the fastest lap of the race at 1:35.587, which also stands as the circuit lap record. The retirements added some drama: Lance Stroll was out after just 12 laps, Sergio Pérez followed him into the garage on lap 31 and Carlos Sainz lasted until lap 43 before his race ended too.

About the Circuit
The Circuit de Madrid is a 5.5 km track with 16 corners and it sits on the 2026 calendar as one of the newer permanent additions to the schedule. It’s a proper racing circuit rather than a street layout, which gives drivers a consistent surface and teams a cleaner read on setup across the weekend.
Sixteen corners across 5.5 kilometres means there’s a reasonable mix of high-speed commitment and technical sections to sort through. It’s not a circuit with decades of F1 history behind it yet, but the 2026 race gave it a strong start as a venue worth watching.
