The iconic Puerta del Sol in Madrid will serve as the welcome stage for Formula 1 with a videomapping spectacle projected onto the Real Casa de Correos from Thursday to Saturday.

The Regional Government's headquarters will host this presentation of the new Madring circuit, blending art and technology. Attendees can enjoy four daily shows, each approximately four minutes long, starting at 10:00 PM, 10:20 PM, 10:40 PM, and 11:00 PM.
The spectacle will highlight architectural elements from the heritage of the Community of Madrid, such as the Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, the balconies of the Plaza Mayor de Chinchón, and the Castle of Manzanares el Real. These images will intertwine with visuals from Formula 1 and the Spanish GP, as explained by the Minister of Presidency, Justice, and Local Administration, Miguel Ángel García Martín.
The projection will progress to display the flag of the Community of Madrid, marking the beginning of the show's second act. This phase will feature the message ‘Madrid is back’, symbolizing the capital's return to the forefront of motorsport.
Finally, images related to motorsport and Formula 1 will transform the facade, creating an immersive experience where the building appears to come alive, move, and change.
