2 · Getting to Madring

The circuit is close to Madrid Barajas airport. Metro Line 8 links the airport, the Feria de Madrid stop at IFEMA and Nuevos Ministerios in the city, so most fans can reach the gates by metro from wherever they stay.

Expect the metro to be packed before and after the sessions, and check the circuit's site for the gate that matches your grandstand and any race weekend changes to stations.

3 · Signal in the crowd

Spain's networks are strong in the city, but a full circuit puts tens of thousands of phones in a small area at the same time. Messages usually get through while uploads slow at the start and the finish.

Save your e-ticket and the circuit map offline, carry a power bank in the September heat, and agree a meeting point with your group.

4 · Apps, tickets and paying

  • ✓Official F1 app. Session times in your time zone, results and news. Live timing needs an F1 TV subscription and data.
  • ✓Tickets. Sold through the circuit's official channels as mobile tickets. Keep yours offline.
  • ✓Metro. Contactless cards and phone wallets work at Madrid metro gates; the airport adds a supplement.
  • ✓Paying. Cards and phone wallets are accepted almost everywhere in Madrid.

5 · What to do around the race

Madrid runs late, which suits a race weekend. The Royal Palace, Puerta del Sol, the Prado and Retiro Park are all in the centre, and dinner rarely starts before nine.
