Get your ticket for the F1 GP in Madrid now with Santander's private ticket sales.

Madrid will once again be the world's epicenter of Formula 1 in 2026, and Banco Santander will also be a key player in the event. The MADRING street circuit, which will run through a northern section of the Spanish capital with its center at IFEMA, will host Madrid's return to the grand prix of motor racing, 45 years after the legendary Gilles Villeneuve, driving a Ferrari, took victory in the last Grand Prix held at the Jarama circuit.

The anticipation surrounding the Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid is enormous, and for this reason, Banco Santander has prepared a private ticket sale for the competition, which will begin on September 11, 2026, and conclude two days later with the race that counts toward the Drivers' and Constructors' World Championships.

Banco Santander has prepared a private ticket sale for the Spanish F1 Grand Prix in Madrid.

This private sale began on Monday, September 22nd at 10:00 a.m. and concludes this Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. The channel will be open to Banco Santander customers, who will be able to purchase tickets exclusively before the sale opens to the general public.

This significant initiative is part of the extremely close relationship that Banco Santander has maintained with Formula 1 over the past 15 years, which currently means that the Spanish bank is the official sponsor and bank of the competition until the 2030 season. Thanks to this agreement, Banco Santander is present on the billboards at eight Grand Prix circuits and carries out all types of commercial activities related to these races, as well as hospitality visits for clients.

In 2006, Banco Santander began its journey into Formula 1, sponsoring teams such as Ferrari and McLaren, and even great drivers like Fernando Alonso, Carlos Sainz, and Lewis Hamilton. Its beginnings in the four-wheel sport began in 2007, with its support for the McLaren team. In 2010, Banco Santander joined Scuderia Ferrari, with whom it maintained an agreement until the end of 2017, a partnership that was renewed in 2022. In addition to teams and drivers, Banco Santander has sponsored Grand Prix, specifically in the most important international markets for the bank, such as Spain, the United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil, Mexico, and the United States.

In fact, this season Banco Santander is sponsoring the Williams Racing team, which includes Madrid-born Carlos Sainz, who earned his first podium finish of the year this weekend after finishing in a highly commendable third place at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Regarding this sponsorship agreement with the legendary British team Williams Racing, Juan Manuel Cendoya, Head of Communications, Corporate Marketing and Research at Banco Santander and Vice President of Santander Spain, commented: "We are delighted to sponsor Williams Racing with an agreement that will allow us to offer exclusive experiences to our customers and continue supporting Carlos Sainz in his new career. This is one of the most historic and legacy-laden teams in F1, and it complements our role as the official bank of the competition, focusing on our core markets."

With a cumulative global audience of 1.458 billion in 2024 and an average of 700,000 spectators per Grand Prix, the Formula 1 circus is the premier international motorsport competition, as well as the most popular and prestigious motor sport in the world.

The new MADRING layout will be 5.4 kilometers long and have 22 curves that will make history.

Madrid will be the only European capital to host a round in the Formula 1 World Championship in 2026, and with the entry of MADRING into the mix, Spain will have two races on the calendar, as the Montmeló circuit will host the Barcelona -Catalunya GP from June 12 to 14.

The new MADRING track will be 5.4 kilometers long and feature 22 historic curves. And, among them all, La Monumental will stand out, a true challenge for drivers, as it will be 500 meters long with a banking of 24%. The track will last approximately six seconds, while the attentive gaze of approximately 45,000 spectators will succumb to its charms. The total capacity of Madrid's new urban track is expected to reach 110,000 spectators, and the first lucky ones will be those who purchase their seats in the next few hours in the private sale promoted by Banco Santander.
