Madrid was supposed to bring something fresh and exciting to the F1 calendar.

Instead… it sucked.

In this week’s Everything Trackside, we take a proper look back at the Spanish Grand Prix and spend a lot of time asking how F1 managed to make such a big new event feel so underwhelming.

From the circuit itself and the racing to the atmosphere, the layout, the spectacle and the wider decision to bring Madrid onto the calendar — there’s plenty to criticise, and we’re not holding back.

We also get into:

🏎️ What went wrong with the Madring
😴 Whether the circuit actually delivered any decent racing
🎪 The event, atmosphere and overall spectacle
🤔 Why Madrid feels like such a missed opportunity
📅 Whether this race deserves its place on the F1 calendar
🔥 The biggest talking points from the weekend
🏆 The championship implications after Madrid

Was Madrid really as bad as it felt — or are we being too harsh?

Let us know what you thought of the Spanish GP in the comments.
