The Spanish Grand Prix has a new home from 2026 as Madrid takes over from Barcelona as the country's main host venue.
The new-look event will also see cars race on a brand-new circuit - the Madring.
The 5.4km track is made up of a mix of new tarmac constructed for the race and public roads with the 22-turn layout winding around the IFEMA Madrid exhibition centre, which is located near to the capital city's international airport.
Featuring a mix of slow, medium and fast corners, organisers expect what is being called La Monumental to be a signature feature of the track, a 550-metre corner featuring 24 per cent banking.
Track length - 5.416km
Number of laps - 57
Cars are expected to reach 211mph at the fastest point of the circuit, while there are notable elevation changes too with the highest point of the lap measuring 697 metres.
The layout also features a tunnel in the final sector, before Turn 18.
