Max previews Spanish Grand Prix: 'Challenging circuit'

Published on 10 September 2026 by Stefan Meens Max Verstappen completed his first two laps of the Madring, Formula 1’s newest racetrack which will host the Spanish Grand Prix this weekend.

Despite F1 cars yet to take to the circuit, some in the paddock have already labelled it as a dangerous circuit.

Of course, a mistake is easily made when you’re on the limit, so we’ll see”, said Max who is looking forward to experiencing Madrid.

Whilst some have characterised the Madring as a ‘drivers’ circuit, where the driver can make the difference, Max remains realistic.

Does that mean I’m no longer fast or a good driver?
