David Coulthard warns unchanged Madring return in 2027 would be "stupidity"

Formula 1 pundit David Coulthard has strongly criticized the Madring circuit, stating that bringing the championship back to the track in 2027 without modifying its current configuration would represent sheer foolishness. His remarks follow a recent debut grand prix at the venue that turned out processional and lacked meaningful action.

Competitors struggled heavily with passing maneuvers around the semi-permanent layout, drawing widespread negative feedback. The competition on track was further impacted when Lando Norris secured pole position, followed by a poorly timed virtual safety car period.
