Guenther Steiner compares Madring backlash to Las Vegas debut with 2027 warning

Former Formula 1 team boss Guenther Steiner has issued a stark warning regarding the Madring circuit, comparing the negative reaction to the venue's debut with the initial reception of the Las Vegas Grand Prix. His comments follow the inaugural Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid, which faced heavy condemnation from spectators, drivers, and analysts due to a lack of passing opportunities that resulted in a dull race.

Steiner stressed that race organizers must significantly modify the track configuration ahead of the 2027 event to avoid repeating the same issues. Meanwhile, Kimi Antonelli managed to claim victory during the opening weekend despite the widespread discontent over the lack of on-track action.
