Race behind the race
Following the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, Formula 1 remains in Europe for one final stop: the Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid. This race marks Madrid's debut on the Formula 1 calendar, bringing the championship to Spain's capital and ushering in a new chapter in the sport's history.
The new 5.416-kilometer Madrid circuit is built around IFEMA Madrid and the Valdebebas area. The track combines public roads and private land, creating a layout with both street-circuit and permanent-circuit characteristics. With 22 corners, dramatic elevation changes, and expected top speeds of 340 kph, the venue is designed to challenge drivers across a wide range of sections.
Madrid also marks the end of Formula 1’s European leg in 2026. After Spain, the championship will enter its global flyaway phase, beginning with Azerbaijan and Singapore.
Logistics play a key role in this transition. Across Europe, DHL’s biofuel-powered trucks transport cars, equipment, and infrastructure by road. As Formula 1 prepares to leave Europe, DHL coordinates multimodal transportation by road, air, and sea. They move up to 1,200 tons of freight per race, supporting the shared sustainability goals of Formula 1 and DHL.
