Grand Prix Mexico

The Mexican Grand Prix is held at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City, at an altitude of over 2,200 metres above sea level, the highest circuit in Formula 1.

Due to the high altitude, the air is about 25% thinner than at sea level, which poses major challenges. The engines have less oxygen, which means they produce about 20% less power. The aerodynamics are also less effective and cooling is a major problem for both the engine and the brakes.

The Mexican Grand Prix is praised for its colorful culture, vibrant atmosphere and unique combination of racing and festivities, including Día de los Muertos themes often incorporated into race weekend activities. The Mexican Grand Prix will run from October 24 to October 26, 2025.

The Mexican Grand Prix began in 1963 as an official F1 race. In 1993 it disappeared from the calendar due to financial and safety problems. After an absence of 23 years, the race returned in 2015 on a renovated circuit. Since the return, Max Verstappen has set the record with four victories, while the presence of local hero Sergio Pérez has greatly increased the popularity of F1 in Mexico.

Autodromo Hermanos Rodríguez

The Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez is a 4.304 kilometer long circuit with 17 corners, located in the eastern part of Mexico City. The most distinctive element is the final section that runs through the "Foro Sol" stadium, where thousands of fans create a wonderful atmosphere and an impressive backdrop for the podium ceremony.

The circuit has several technical sections, particularly in the middle segment, but also a very long straight (1.2 km) where high top speeds are reached despite the thin air. The combination of long straights and slow corners makes it a challenging circuit for car setup.
