With a program focused on long runs, Clerot completed 46 laps across the two test sessions held on the 5,416-meter circuit. The focus of the Brazilian and the team was, besides seeking car adjustments, to familiarize themselves with the circuit, which will host the final round of the 2026 season next September.
“Today we had the first official test day at the Madrid circuit. It was a very productive day, where we completed many laps. We had a program with a day a bit more focused on long runs so we could familiarize ourselves with the circuit, understand what we needed to work on in the car. And we did that well, I am very satisfied with all the work the team did today,” said Clerot, who also spoke about the layout in the Spanish capital.

“The track is fantastic, it has some characteristics similar to Monaco, it reminds a bit of Jeddah and also a bit of Baku, so there is a lot for you to get to know and see when we come to race here in three weeks. It’s a fantastic track and I loved driving, loved pushing to the limit on this new track, passing very close to the wall,” adds Pedro Clerot, who is sponsored by Banco BRB.
On Tuesday (25) there will be another round of collective Formula 3 tests at Madring, while the category will meet again for a round on September 4, 5, and 6 at the Monza Circuit in Italy.
