Charles Leclerc, de Ferrari, est le premier à avoir bouclé un tour complet du circuit de F1 de Madrid

Madrid is set to host its inaugural Formula 1 race at the yet-to-be-completed Madring circuit during the Spanish Grand Prix from September 11th to 13th. However, two months prior to the event, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, fresh off his victory at the British Grand Prix, became the first driver to complete full laps on the circuit in an F1 car.

Ferrari shared footage and videos from a filming session on Madrid's street circuit, which integrates public roads with permanent track sections, including the iconic "Monumental" banked turn. Leclerc was the very first F1 driver to navigate this 20-corner circuit in a Formula 1 machine. (Previously, Carlos Sainz had driven a Ford Mustang on the circuit during a media event in May.)

While this was not a serious, professional testing session, and was subject to limitations such as mileage and the use of promotional Pirelli tires, it nonetheless provided Leclerc and Ferrari with valuable initial insights into the circuit.

The full video of Charles Leclerc's Madrid test session, which was kept under wraps from the media, is eagerly anticipated. In the meantime, Ferrari's official channels have released numerous images and short clips of the new circuit, which is expected to be packed with spectators in just two months.

English Translation:

Madrid is gearing up to host its first-ever Formula 1 race at the still-under-construction Madring circuit for the Spanish Grand Prix, scheduled from September 11th to 13th. However, two months before the race, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, fresh from his recent victory at the British Grand Prix, was the first to complete full laps on the circuit at the wheel of an F1 car.

Ferrari released images and videos from a filming session on the Madrid street circuit, which blends public roads with permanent track sections (including the famous "Monumental" banked corner). Leclerc became the very first F1 driver to tour this 20-corner circuit in an F1 car (Carlos Sainz had previously driven a Ford Mustang on it during a media outing in May).

Of course, this was not a serious professional test (and there were restrictions, such as mileage and the use of promotional Pirelli tires), but it still gave Leclerc and Ferrari valuable first impressions of the circuit.

There's much anticipation for the full video of Charles Leclerc's test session in Madrid (which was kept secret from the media). In the meantime, their official channels are broadcasting plenty of images and short clips of the new circuit, which will be bustling with activity in just two months.
