About

The race is the excuse. The week is the point.

MADRID 2026 is an independent editorial guide to the race weekend, the city and the roads beyond it. It is for readers who care as much about the room, the table and the Monday morning as they do about Sunday.

How Places Are Chosen

Nothing is included merely because it is new, expensive, fashionable or difficult to access. Recommendations are reported or attributed; unvisited places are identified as part of the shortlist. A hotel is not recommended without understanding the room, the street and the circuit journey. A road is not published as driven until it has been driven.

Independence

This publication is independent and is not affiliated with Formula 1, the race promoter, the circuit or any team. Event names identify the subject only. Editorial inclusion cannot be purchased. Complimentary access, hosted stays and other material relationships will be disclosed.

Credits

Photography, illustrations and period interpretations are created for KM0 unless otherwise credited. Material editorial relationships are disclosed when relevant.
