Where is the Mexican Grand Prix held?
The Mexican Grand Prix takes place at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, in the eastern part of Mexico City. The circuit sits inside the Magdalena Mixhuca Sports Complex, around 10 km from the city centre.
Why go to the Mexican Grand Prix?
The Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez is one of the most distinctive circuits on the Formula 1 calendar, with the lap running through the middle of the Foro Sol baseball stadium for the final corners. The atmosphere is widely regarded as one of the strongest of any race, with the home crowd filling the grandstands, particularly through the stadium section where the noise is at its loudest. The combination of the venue, the altitude, and the city makes the Mexican Grand Prix one of the most memorable race weekends on the calendar.
What to expect over three days
Plan for three full days, Friday to Sunday, to see every Formula 1 session and the support races. Friday is practice. Saturday is final practice and qualifying. Sunday is the Grand Prix.
What makes the Mexican Grand Prix special?
The atmosphere, the altitude, and Mexico City itself. The circuit sits at over 2,200 metres above sea level, the highest on the Formula 1 calendar, which has a real effect on car performance and engine cooling. The Foro Sol stadium section, where the cars run through the middle of a baseball stadium, is a setting unique on the calendar. Mexico City pairs well with race weekend: a vast capital with strong food and culture, and onward connections to ruins, beaches, and colonial cities across the country.
