Madrid confirms Ferrari tested track for F1 debutFerrari has become the first Formula 1 team to run on Madrid's new grand prix circuit, less than 10 weeks before the venue's debut on the world championship calendar. The session also allowed organisers to conduct a full operational rehearsal ahead of September's inaugural Spanish GP. A Formula 1 filming day with Scuderia Ferrari HP has enabled the event's operations, infrastructure and safety systems to be tested under real-world conditions ahead of the circuit's Formula 1 debut, circuit organisers said. Officials said the exercise went well beyond simply putting a Formula 1 car on track. Video released by Ferrari showed Leclerc leaving a dusty pitlane, highlighting that construction work is continuing around the venue.
