F1 drivers push for Madrid track changes after a poor Spanish GP
After a largely sleep-inducing Spanish Grand Prix around Madrid’s Madring, drivers lamented the lack of overtaking and complained they weren’t consulted in the design. Max Verstappen called for input on track changes, and teammates like Oliver Bearman, Alex Albon, and Lando Norris suggested tweaks (rework Turns 3–5 and remove the Turn 5–6 chicane, adjust Turn 13 banking or slower braking, remove Turns 18–19, and shorten the pitlane) to boost raceability and introduce strategic variety, with calls to involve drivers in future circuit decisions.
