The Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix will not return until 2028. Will you miss the iconic circuit next year?

Yes! I like it precisely because the teams and drivers know it so well. Every team arrives with good ideas about the setup they will need. That makes for some tough competition.

I think that's one perk of the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya and was especially prevalent this year with the pre-season testing! It would have been interesting to see how Bahrain fared!

Having attended the 2026 Barcelona grand prix it is clear that a lot of upgrades are needed.

The layout change has helped matters, but I still don't think this is an essential venue. Spa is a far bigger loss in its off years
