The opposition and environmentalists are against the plans of the F1 race in Madrid

      The political opposition in the Spanish capital has filed a lawsuit against the city authorities, trying to protest the plans for the Formula 1 race, for which construction of the track has already begun.

      The High Court of Madrid has accepted the relevant protest filed by the opposition group Mas Madrid," Rita Maestre, who heads it, recalled.

      "These plans have not passed an adequate environmental assessment, there is no assessment of their impact on public health, despite the noise and environmental pollution in the surrounding areas, because the highway runs 40 meters from residential buildings," said Maestre.

      In addition, she claims that more than 700 trees may be destroyed during the construction of the highway, which also causes outrage among local eco-activists, and an organization called the Madrid Environmental Platform has also filed a protest with the local court.

      Of course, the opposition also accuses the authorities of spending extremely wastefully on the city budget, which is mainly formed from local taxes.

      However, the situation around the Miami Grand Prix was similar at the time, but now no one remembers it. Let's see how events will develop in Madrid, where about 20,000 motorsport fans gathered for the recent demonstrations of Carlos Sainz and the Williams team.
