And on this episode of The Race F1 Podcast, Edd Straw, Jon Noble and special guest Diego Meija share their thoughts on F1's newest track after a special tour of the facility, three months before the first race.  Equipped with a 10-metre high, 550-metre long, steeply banked corner, Madrid has a corner that on paper could become one of F1's best - but will this latest Spanish venue prove a hit or go down as another missed opportunity, like the now-abandoned Valencia track? Edd, Jon and Diego discuss that corner, assess what the circuit has in store for the drivers, and explain why they're optimistic about the racing it should provide. Plus we also hear from home hero Carlos Sainz, who has been heavily involved in the project. Help shape the future of The Race.
