El Gran Premio de Madrid vende 50.000 entradas en medio del escepticismo político.

      Una fuerte demanda inicial

      Los organizadores de la nueva carrera de Fórmula 1 de Madrid dicen que ya se han vendido más de 50.000 entradas para la carrera inaugural de la ciudad en septiembre de 2026, y que una cuarta parte de los compradores procede del extranjero, principalmente del Reino Unido, Estados Unidos y México.

      El viceconsejero de Cultura, Turismo y Deporte, Luis Martín, dijo a la Asamblea de Madrid que la fuerte demanda inicial "demuestra la oportunidad estratégica que representa este nuevo circuito para impulsar el turismo, la economía y la proyección internacional de la región."

      El circuito urbano 'Madring' en Valdebebas ya ha completado el 90% de los trabajos de movimiento de tierras, y se espera que las obras finalicen en mayo de 2026. El trazado estará a solo 16 km del centro de la ciudad y a cinco minutos del aeropuerto.

      Las autoridades esperan que el evento genere 450 millones de euros al año y sostenga más de 8.000 empleos, pero los opositores políticos siguen cuestionando el coste del proyecto y su transparencia.

      Martín criticó el "cuestionamiento continuo" por parte del PSOE, el principal partido de centroizquierda de España, y de Más Madrid, el movimiento progresista ecologista de la ciudad, señalando que el gobierno español aún concede millones en subvenciones al Gran Premio ya existente de Barcelona.

The race in São Paulo was the second of the season, after the Dutch Grand Prix, in which both Ferrari drivers retired from the race. Charles Leclerc fell victim to a collision between Oscar Piastri and Kimi Antonelli – the Italian driver's Mercedes ricocheted into Leclerc's Ferrari, breaking the Monegasque's front-left suspension. Lewis Hamilton damaged his car after contact with Franco Colapinto. For that the seven‑time world champion received a five‑second penalty, which he served during a pit stop, and one penalty point. The damage to the SF‑25 proved too severe, and the team withdrew Lewis from the race. As a result of the São Paulo Grand Prix Ferrari dropped from second to fourth in the Constructors' Championship. Lewis Hamilton (retired): "This was definitely a race I'd like to forget. After the first‑lap collision the damage to the car led to a significant loss of downforce, making it very difficult to control the behaviour of the rear wheels. Despite the team's efforts to find a way out, the lack of pace combined with the penalty forced us to retire from the race. Of course, this is not the way I wanted the week to end, but I thank the Brazilian fans for their incredible support, as always. There is one final push to make, and we'll give everything in the remaining races." Charles Leclerc (retired): "It's a shame my race ended in retirement. I suffered because of the collision between Kimi and Oscar, who hit my car. It's a pity, given that we are fighting for second place in the Constructors' Championship. Now it will be harder for us to secure second place – we need to execute the remaining three rounds of the season perfectly. But the team did a good job of turning things around after a difficult Friday." Frédéric Vasseur, team principal: "After a weekend like this you want to find something positive, even if it's not easy, because the season is ending and we have a double retirement. In the sprint we achieved a decent result – the pace was good, and then Charles did an excellent job in qualifying. Sunday was difficult. I had the feeling that with Charles we had good chances, but we had to pay for the Antonelli–Piastri collision. Charles positioned the car correctly, was running second, but retired. That's disappointing, because he could have fought for first place or at least for a podium. In that situation we not only lost points ourselves, but also handed them to our rivals. As for Lewis, his car lost a noticeable amount of downforce either because Carlos Sainz hit him, or because the front wing got stuck under the floor, or as a result of both incidents. Lewis had good pace, but he couldn't recover after the two collisions. The decision to withdraw him from the race was logical, because his car lost about 30 to 40 percent of its downforce. So he served the penalty and retired. It's hard to draw conclusions from the weekend given how it ended. We bounced back well after a difficult Friday, but the result is disappointing, as is the situation in the Constructors' Championship fight. We're returning to Maranello to prepare as best as possible for the final triple‑header of the season."
