Hamilton admits he wouldn't want F1 to lose the “classic” Barcelona circuit over a possible switch to Madrid.
Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton has declared his affection for the"classic" Barcelona circuit amid speculation that Formula 1 could move the Spanish Grand Prix to a street track in Madrid.The current Barcelona venue has been on the calendar since 1991 and, for this year, the final chicane has been ditched in favour of a return to high-speed Turns 13-14.
Amid the proliferation of street circuits in recent years - with the additions of Jeddah, Miami, Baku and Las Vegas most notably - Hamilton reckons F1 should not risk the future of too many"traditional" circuits. "There are a lot of really great traditional circuits that we should keep. Maybe some that don't provide the greatest racing, we should maybe switch them out.
Lando Norris, McLaren, Carlos Sainz, Scuderia Ferrari, Logan Sargeant, Williams Racing, in the Thursday press conferenceHe said:"I just can say that I will do my maximum just to ensure that there's still a Spanish Grand Prix independently of where. "I will just offer my help to for whatever they need - it doesn't matter if it's track design or whatever."added:"I will be happy to race in Barcelona, I will be happy to race in Madrid if I'm here in '26.
