A filming day organised by Scuderia Ferrari HP provided a valuable opportunity to validate the circuit\u2019s operational procedures and infrastructure under real operating conditions ahead of its FIA Formula One World Championship debut.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc completed the FIA-regulated promotional event using the Ferrari SF-26. Under the regulations, teams are permitted to cover up to 200 kilometres in total (100 km per driver) using dedicated Pirelli demonstration tyres. The session marked the first time a Formula 1 car had run on the Madrid circuit ahead of the inaugural Grand Prix over the weekend of 11\u201313 September.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Key Milestone in Event Readiness<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The day provided MADRING with the opportunity to test the logistics and coordination required for a Formula 1 event, with Ferrari operating under conditions closely resembling those of a Grand Prix weekend. The Scuderia deployed personnel and equipment representative of a race weekend operation, enabling organisers to validate key operational procedures across the circuit. More important than the symbolic first Formula 1 laps, the session marked one of the final operational milestones ahead of September\u2019s inaugural FORMULA 1 TAG HEUER GRAN PREMIO DE ESPA\u00d1A, demonstrating the readiness of the circuit, its infrastructure and its operational teams as preparations enter their final phase.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">F1 PR<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MADRING today reached another important milestone in its preparation for the FORMULA 1 TAG HEUER GRAN PREMIO DE&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":791938,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[441],"tags":[49,48,578,576,577,82],"class_list":["post-791937","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-f1","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/791937","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=791937"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/791937\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/791938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=791937"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=791937"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=791937"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
