00 / Edition One
The race is the excuse.The week is the point.
01 / Weekend
The long weekend.Two Madrids.
The circuit sits by the airport. The life worth staying for is across town. A weekend planned around both.
Plan the weekend02 / Stay
The room matters.So does the street.
Seven hotels, each offering a different way to inhabit Madrid. Not the best hotels. The right ones for this weekend.
Choose a room03 / Table
The right tableat the righthour.
Coffee before the city. Vermut at one. Lunch at half past two. One more after midnight.
Take a seat04 / Roads
Leave beforethe city wakes.
One road out of Madrid. The right car, the right hour and somewhere worth stopping. The pleasure is not speed.
Take the long way
05 / After
You came forSunday.Keep Monday.
The first drink. The last room. Three paintings. An address worth carrying home.
Stay after the noise
06 / Objects
Made here. Chosen elsewhere. Kept for years.
Gloves, maps, luggage and a few things improved by use.

The race came first.
I came to Formula One through distance: Sunday broadcasts, magazine photographs and circuits that were places in the imagination before they became destinations.
