Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of MotoGP and former director of the Jarama circuit, will be responsible for giving the final checkered flag at the Madrid Formula 1 Grand Prix. The confirmation was made this week, highlighting Ezpeleta's experience in elite motorsport and motorcycling.
Madrid is preparing to host, this weekend, one of the most spectacular urban circuits in the world, 45 years after the last time the city hosted a Formula 1 Grand Prix. The event marks the return of the Spanish capital to the F-1 calendar after nearly five decades of absence.
The circuit, built specifically for the occasion, is described as quite dangerous due to the presence of many walls around the track, a common feature in urban circuits that requires special attention from drivers during races.
The Madrid Grand Prix represents an extremely high-level event in the world of motorsport, bringing back to the city one of the most prestigious motor sports in the world after years of absence from the Spanish calendar.
