Organizers of this year’s relocated Spanish Grand Prix have provided a first glimpse of the fully paved ‘La Monumental’ curve, which is set to be the focal point of the Madring.Formula 1’s Spanish round will shift to the new-for-2026 street-style Madring, on the outskirts of Madrid, from September 11 to 13. Former Spanish Grand Prix host, Barcelona, remains on the calendar, in mid-June, under the auspices of the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix.The Madring is being constructed around the IFEMA Madrid complex, which will host an indoor paddock, using some of the existing streets and permanent sections on nearby private land. La Monumental is Turn 12 of the 22-turn circuit and is expected to be the showpiece curve of the Madring.It stretches across 1,805 feet (550 meters), is expected to take drivers six seconds to complete, and at its highest point will feature banking of 24%, or 13.5 degrees, with a height of 33 feet (10 meters). Madring curveWhether drivers will be able to tackle the corner at full chat in 2026, given the focus on battery management and energy saving under the new regulations, is another matter altogether.Drivers have so far tackled high-speed complexes, such as Turns 9 and 10 in Melbourne, at a lower speed in 2026 due to super clipping and associated battery management. The entirety of the 3.3-mile Madring is expected to be fully paved by the end of April. Madring holds a contract to host Formula 1’s Spanish Grand Prix through 2035.
