Here’s a rundown of the most noteworthy grandstands at the Mexican Grand Prix™.
Grandstands 1 & 2 (Start/finish straight)
Grandstands 1 and 2 are situated along the lengthy straight, directly facing the pit building and the grid. These grandstands are a great choice if you like having a view of the team garages, the pre race build-up and the chequered flag. Before the race you’ll seen engineers making final preparations to the cars and the drivers coming and going on the grid.

Grandstands 3, 4, 5 & 6 (first corner of the lap)
Positioned on the outer edge of turn 1, you'll find grandstands 3 and 4 perfectly situated in line with the first major braking point of the lap. This braking point is substantial, providing a pivotal overtaking opportunity.
Grandstands 5 and 6 provide a front-row view of the extended pit straight and the chaos of turn 1. Squeezing 20 cars into this section of track isn’t easy, and contact is not unusual throughout the race. From grandstand 5 you get a commanding view over a substantial section of the racetrack and see the cars as they head straight towards you.

Grandstands 9, 10 & 11 (Turns 5 & 6)
Grandstands 10 and 11 have views of turns 4, 5, and 6. From either of these stands you can watch the cars as they approach and decelerate for turn 4 after a brief burst down the straight. You’ll see the drivers navigate through this slow sequence of turns before accelerating once more to tackle Mexico's challenging esses.

Grandstands 14 & 15 (Foro Sol)
Nowhere in Formula 1 is the atmosphere more electric than at The Foro Sol baseball stadium. Here, fans are in for a special experience as the cars drastically decelerate to negotiate the low-speed chicane. While Grandstand 14 is often the preferred option, both stands merit consideration. Most seats, even in the lower rows, provide an unobstructed view of the cars navigating the low-speed section without any fencing in your line of sight.
After the race, the Foro Sol section transforms into the backdrop for a unique podium celebration, with fans pouring onto the track to celebrate the race winner.
