What The Madrid Grand Prix Revealed About The State Of Formula 1

Formula One returned to Madrid for the first time since 1981, with drivers competing on the newly built Madring circuit as part of a second Spanish Grand Prix on the calendar. The event was seen as an opportunity to address concerns about the sport becoming dull to watch. The Canadian Grand Prix podium earlier in the season featured Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli (No. 12) winning, ahead of Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton (No. 44) and Red Bull's Max Verstappen (No. 3).
