The formula 1 can go back to Madrid thanks to the intervention of the Community of Madrid. Isabel Diaz Ayusoby means of a letter signed by the Minister for the Presidency, Justice and the Interior, Henry Lopezleads the petition to CEO of the great circus, Stefano Domenicaliin a return that would take place 40 years after a last race that, moreover, has a gap in the history of the Formula 1 World Championship.
It was in 1981, on June 21, that the Jarama circuit was the scene of his last race Formula 1. The winner was Gilles Villeneuve (Ferrari), a failed Canadian driver – he would die in an accident months later – who, even with problems in his car, would arrive ahead of Jacques Laffite, John Watson, Reutemann and De Angelis.
All these pilots arrived in a group of five that was not usual in the competition, they entered with a difference of 1.24 seconds, the smallest in the history of world and that makes one remember a last race in a city that wants to see the return of the formula 1 and has already started the steps to make a hole.
