Thecuy.com, Madrid – Lando Norris, driving for McLaren, achieved an unexpected pole position for the inaugural Spanish Grand Prix on the newly built Madrín street circuit, signaling a thrilling kickoff to the 2026 Formula 1 campaign.
Set to take over from Barcelona as the venue for the Spanish Grand Prix under a decade‑long contract, the event is slated for Sunday at 15:00 CET. The schedule includes practice on Friday, qualifying on Saturday, and the race itself on Sunday, providing enthusiasts a complete weekend of competition around the 22‑turn street course that showcases the prominent steeply banked Turn 12, nicknamed “La Monumental”.
The Madrín track, laid out along city streets, offers a novel obstacle for drivers and crews. Local icons Carlos Sainz and Fernando Alonso will compete on terrain they know well, whereas the unconventional configuration puts vehicle setups to the test with its blend of high‑speed straights and narrow bends.
Norris’s pole lap highlighted McLaren’s superior speed, leaving several rivals surprised. This achievement intensifies the championship contest, particularly after Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton suffered a qualifying crash, while Ferrari’s Kimi Antonelli maintains his strong momentum from Monza.
Key points for the weekend:
- Friday: Conduct two practice sessions, each spanning 45 minutes.
- Saturday: Hold the final practice, then proceed with a three‑segment qualifying round.
- Sunday: Begin the race at 15:00 CET, covering roughly 306 kilometres across 66 laps.
The debut Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid is projected to attract massive crowds, reigniting enthusiasm for Formula 1
