Madrid considers red pigment for future F1 track repaving

Madrid is exploring plans to introduce red pigmentation to parts of the Madring F1 track after completing over 90% of its paving work. Chief Operating Officer Carlos Jimenez indicated that caution prevented this initiative for the inaugural race, as the pigment had not been previously used. The permanent sections of the circuit, distinct from public roads, are seen as ideal for the coloring, which represents the cultural identity of Spain and Madrid. With the contract running until at least 2035, officials plan to revisit this idea during the next repaving.
