Race
Welcome to the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, located in the heart of Mexico City and home to the Mexico City Grand Prix.
Passionate fans and high altitude are the two guarantees for any Formula 1 trip to Mexico, with the engines pressured into extremes we don't encounter anywhere else.
Aerodynamics also are less effective at 2,200 meters above sea level, further adding to the engineering obstacles we must overcome, but challenges like these are exactly why we race.
Circuit Overview:
The Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez stretches over 4.304 km (2.674 miles) with 17 turns, starting with a high-speed first sector that includes two DRS zones and the primary overtaking spots.
By comparison, Sector 2 is full of low-to-medium speed corners where drivers will stay single file as they head into one of the sport's most identifiable grandstands — the Foro Sol.
This old baseball stadium has an amphitheatre atmosphere like no other anywhere else in F1, and Sector 3 winds inside, through, and out of the cheering fans to end this high-speed and high-altitude lap.

Yesterday
JV to ALEX:
Alex, apologies from our side. I know we have a lot to do in terms of communication and work with you trying to get it right on strategy today, but let's get back, pull together as a team and come back in Brazil.
ALEX to PIT:
Yep, agreed. Good pitstop, guys. It's the best thing of this race, so well done.
Yesterday
LAP 69/71
Carlos spins the the stadium section and is out - he's pulled it over in a safe place. VSC deployed.
Yesterday
LAP 65/71
That's P12 for Alex with a neat move around the outside of turn 4. He's also just served a blue flag for the leader. Carlos is almost in DRS range of STR...
Yesterday
LAP 64/71
Alex now all over the back of HAD – it's only a matter of time...
Yesterday
LAP 60/71
We're P13 and P15 after that penalty. Alex is four seconds back from TSU, whilst Carlos is four seconds behind STR, with a comfortable 20-second gap to the Alpine of GAS behind him.
Yesterday
PIT to CARLOS
Carlos, I have to apologise, but your radio is really terrible. Can you try to correct your mic position, please?
