Damon Hill makes Formula E comparison following Madrid GP F1 announcement
Is F1 doing t🦹he right thing by moving towards street venues? Damon Hill gives his view.

1996 F1 world champion Damon Hill has questioned F1’s tಌrend towards street circu𒐪its.
F1 recently announced that a new street race in Madrid wᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚill be added to the calendar from 🔥2026.
While F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali hasn’t officially confirmed it’s not the end of Barcelona, it’s﷽ unlikely there will be two Span𝓡ish races on the calendar.
Madrid’s addition continues a growing trend towards street races with Saꦑudi Arabia, Miami and Las Vegas added in recent seasons.
Formula E - the FIA’s all-electric m𒊎otorsport championship - predominately races on street tracks rather than conventional circuits.
"This kind of move towards a tighter, twisty circuit, it is going in the direction of Formula E, which has chosen to have its races in ༒city centres and also on very restricted circuits," said Hill on the♊ Sky Sports F1 podcast.
"I hope that is not an indication of a concession made towa🧸rds the fact 🦋that these cars are going to be down on performance compared to now.”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen has voiced his discontent about there being less ‘﷽traditional’ tracks on the calenda♔r.
"With the race in Las Vegas, we had a very annoyed Max Verstappen talking about the nature of c🍬ircuits and the kind of circuits he'd like to race on,” Hill added.
"The fact is that Formula 1 has to adapt to new demands made on it from the car manufacturing point of view as well as governments imposing environmental questioඣns, so it is challenged in that direction.
"B✅ut I hope it will be an exciting circuit, the most important thing is that the racing is exciting and that the cars can race on there."
