In recent days there has been talk of the possibility that Madrid will replace Barcelona from 2026 as the Spanish Grand Prix. Although it is not ruled out that both can be held in the same season. lewis hamilton has spoken out respectfully, issuing a warning to Formula 1.
He does not want Barcelona to be removed from the calendar. And above all, he would not like the Madrid circuit to resemble the urban one in Valencia: “I don’t think we want to lose Barcelona. I love the city and it’s one of the classic circuits, which I’ve always enjoyed.”
“I hope we can follow each other more closely this year with the cars and probably the last two corners will be better than the ‘Mickey Mouse’ chicane there was until now”, says the seven-time champion of the Great Circus.
That Madrid does not look like Valencia. That is his wish. “I hope the new project in Madrid is not like the one in Valencia, that was not the most fun track to drive. For me, it’s important that we keep the classic circuits, at least the ones that give us great races,” says the Mercedes driver.

For Lewis, Montmeló is indisputable on the calendar as are Budapest and Silverstone: “Budapest and Silverstone are also spectacular and they should continue and perhaps remove those that are not so entertaining. You have to hold on to the pillars of this sport.”
