Formula 1 stays in the Americas for Round 19 of the 2026 season, and there’s no time to catch breath as the Mexico City Grand Prix arrives as the middle race of a triple header.
The Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez has become a firm favourite amongst drivers and fans alike, with the 4.304 km layout, high altitude and passionate crowd always making for a standout weekend.
With the action following just a week after Austin, the timezone shift is far less dramatic than the one we experienced between Singapore and the US. For fans in the UK, Europe and Africa, the Mexico City Grand Prix will present evening viewing, while fans in Asia and Oceania will be set for early morning action.
Supporters watching across the Americas will be treated to some primetime weekend viewing.
Wherever you’re watching, we’ll have you covered with everything you need to follow the action on the Williams app.
