“Send us a Hey Now!”

The Madrid Grand Prix has been and gone, and let's just say… we've got some thoughts. This week on Dirty Side of the Track we have a discussion on one very important question: how on earth do we fix the Madring?

After this year's snooze-fest, we take a serious look at what could be changed to make the Madrid circuit produce better racing. Better overtaking opportunities? Changes to the layout? Different approaches to the corners? We've got plenty of ideas.

And then, because this is Dirty Side, things inevitably go completely off the rails. Random sprinklers? A mobile pit lane? Drivers changing tires on the back of moving trucks? Once we've exhausted the sensible suggestions, we're going properly stupid.

We also have News and Social updates, a trip to the video vault, and a quick stroll over to Cadillac Corner to check in on F1's newest team. We then turn our attention to Baku and the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Street circuits, big braking zones, long straights and the ever-present possibility of someone finding the wall — what could possibly go wrong?

So grab a drink, settle in and join us as we attempt to fix Madrid, preview Baku and inevitably come up with some ideas that should absolutely never be allowed anywhere near an FIA circuit designer.
