Mexico City Grand Prix
24°C
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 are also 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 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.
