## Resource

F1 drivers are demanding major changes to the Madrid circuit after the Spanish Grand Prix, calling it dull and lacking overtaking opportunities—some even joked they “almost fell asleep.” The track’s design prioritizes defending positions over passing, with tricky corners making aggressive moves risky and often resulting in contact. Drivers, who weren’t consulted during planning, argue their input is vital for creating tracks that deliver thrilling, strategic racing. They’re pushing for specific tweaks—like reshaping chicanes and redesigning corners—to boost passing chances and emulate layouts like COTA. Ultimately, they want a collaborative future where driver feedback shapes circuits to keep F1 exciting for fans and competitors alike.
