The MadRing racing show attracted almost 20,000 viewers.

      The race show in the Spanish capital with the participation of the Williams team and Carlos Sainz was a success, and the hopes of the organizers were fully justified.

      However, the demonstration program included not only Carlos's races on the FW45, the car of the year 2023, but also the Spanish riders of the youth series. And the large audience gathered at the Road Show witnessed how Mario, who plays for Campos in F3, made a mistake during his race by not calculating the speed during the turn, and as a result, the rear wing of his car was damaged.

      But Pepe Marti, a Formula 2 racer and participant in the Red Bull youth program, acted clearly and competently and even stated that he was ready to continue his career in Formula 1 if the opportunity presented itself: "There is a chance to get there in 2026, but for this you need to progress and earn points."

      Of course, the main character of the evening was Sainz, who amused the audience by driving along an improvised highway, smoking rubber and spinning "donuts". From his point of view, the timing was very good.

      "I don't know what Williams will be able to achieve in a year and three months, but the team is on the rise right now," he commented. – I can imagine that in Madrid I will have the opportunity to fight for the podium. In 2026, this will be possible, especially since it is possible to dream.

      If I had been told last year that we would be qualifying for the final and ahead of the Ferrari, Mercedes or Red Bull cars, I would have made the decision to sign the contract sooner. If we continue like this and we can take the next step, then I don't rule out that Williams will return to the leadership group."

      It remains to add that the 30 degree heat did not prevent almost 20,000 fans from gathering for the Madrid RoadShow, and the organizers summed it up as follows: "The best thing that can be said about the MadRing project is the people, and today you confirmed this. This track is being built for you, and everything is just beginning. Thank you for this unforgettable day!"
