MADRID 2026

The race, the city and the roads beyond it.
Edition One / September 11-13, 2026

A Mercedes racing through Madrid at night

01 / Weekend

Weekend

The circuit sits by the airport. The life worth staying for is across town. A weekend planned around both.

02 / Stay

Stay

Seven hotels, each offering a different way to inhabit Madrid. Not the best hotels. The right ones for this weekend.

03 / Table

Table

Coffee before the city. Vermut at one. Lunch at half past two. One more after midnight.

Take a seat

04 / Roads

Roads

One road out of Madrid. The right car, the right hour and somewhere worth stopping. The pleasure is not speed.

Take the long way
Gran Vía after dark

05 / After

After

The first drink. The last room. Three paintings. An address worth carrying home.

Stay after the noise
Driving gloves, a road map, a watch and a hotel key arranged for the road

06 / Objects

Objects

Gloves, maps, luggage and a few things improved by use.

07 / The Letter

The Letter

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