Ferrari uses Madrid filming day to gather data on new circuit

Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton are in Madrid for a filming session at the new Madring circuit on July 7, 2026. The session marks the first time an F1 car has run on the 5.416km track ahead of its debut hosting the Spanish Grand Prix in September. The costs of this filming day are covered by the Madring promoters, allowing Ferrari to operate within its cost cap. This is the team's second and final filming day of the year, following a previous session in Monza. The Madrid event aims to test the venue's operational readiness before the race weekend scheduled for September 11-13.
