SUMMARY:Mexico City Grand Prix
DESCRIPTION:The Mexico City Grand Prix takes place from 30 October to 1 November 2026 at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez\, forming round 20 of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship. Situated at an altitude of over 2\,200 metres above sea level\, the Mexican capital provides one of the most unique and atmospheric race weekends on the entire calendar. \nWhat is the Mexico City Grand Prix?\nThe Mexico City Grand Prix is Formula 1’s annual race in Mexico\, held at the historic Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in the Magdalena Mixhuca sports park. The 4.304km circuit is the third-shortest on the F1 calendar and features 17 turns\, including the spectacular Estadio section where the track passes through a former baseball stadium packed with tens of thousands of fans. The extreme altitude affects engine performance and aerodynamic downforce\, making it a unique engineering challenge. The circuit is named after the Rodriguez brothers\, Ricardo and Pedro\, both of whom lost their lives in motorsport. \nWhen is the Mexico City Grand Prix?\nThe 2026 Mexico City Grand Prix weekend runs from Friday 30 October to Sunday 1 November. Practice sessions take place on Friday\, with qualifying on Saturday and the race on Sunday. The race typically starts at 14:00 local time (CST)\, which is 20:00 GMT and 15:00 ET. \nWhere is the Mexico City Grand Prix?\nThe Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez is located in the eastern part of Mexico City\, within the Magdalena Mixhuca sports complex. The circuit was originally built in 1959 and has undergone several major redesigns since then\, most recently ahead of Formula 1’s return in 2015. Mexico City International Airport is just minutes from the circuit\, making it one of the most accessible venues on the calendar. The venue can accommodate over 130\,000 spectators on race day. \nKey Contenders\nMax Verstappen is the most successful driver at this circuit\, with five victories in Mexico City (2017\, 2018\, 2021\, 2022\, 2023). However\, the 2026 regulation changes have reshuffled the competitive order. Mercedes have been the dominant force in the early part of the season\, with George Russell and Kimi Antonelli sharing victories in the opening rounds. Ferrari\, now featuring Lewis Hamilton alongside Charles Leclerc\, have shown strong pace and will be confident of challenging at a circuit where altitude plays a significant role. Lando Norris\, the reigning World Champion\, won the 2025 edition by over 30 seconds and will expect McLaren to be competitive once again. \nHow to Watch the Mexico City Grand Prix\nIn the United States\, all sessions are broadcast exclusively on Apple TV. In the United Kingdom\, Sky Sports F1 holds live rights to every session. Mexican viewers can watch on Fox Sports Mexico.

The event ran until 1970\, returned between 1986 and 1992\, and then came back to the calendar in 2015 following a major circuit renovation. Since the modern era began\, Max Verstappen has dominated with five wins\, while Nico Rosberg (2015)\, Lewis Hamilton (2016\, 2019)\, Carlos Sainz (2024)\, and Lando Norris (2025) have also stood on the top step.
