Mexico City Grand Prix
30 October–1 November 2026
Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez · Iztacalco, 08400 Ciudad de México, CDMX
Held at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez — the highest-altitude circuit on the F1 calendar, where the final sector runs straight through a converted baseball stadium.
F1's return to Mexico in 2015 came with one strange new addition: a section of track diverted straight through Foro Sol, a baseball stadium built inside the circuit in the 1990s. Nobody else on the calendar races through a stadium built for another sport entirely, and the noise it produces — every seat filled, every session, not just the race — is why Mexico City is consistently named one of the loudest weekends in F1.
The circuit itself carries real weight beyond the spectacle. It's named after Ricardo and Pedro Rodríguez, Mexico's first F1 stars, both killed racing years apart — the track's own history is a genuine part of what makes race weekend here feel different. Add the highest altitude of any circuit on the calendar, and 2026's race weekend landing directly on top of the city's Día de Muertos Grand Parade — one of the biggest cultural weekends in Mexico, happening at the same time as the Grand Prix, not as a separate trip — and this is a genuinely unrepeatable version of an already distinctive race.

Pre-trip brief
Updated 20 October 2026
- Expect mild, dry days: highs around 22°C (72°F), lows near 9°C (48°F) after sundown. The altitude (2,200m) makes race-day evenings colder than the daytime sun suggests, so bring a jacket for the grandstands after dark. Rain is unlikely this late in the dry season, but pack a light layer just in case.
- Take the Metro, not a car. There's no public parking at the circuit. Line 9 (Tacubaya-Pantitlan) is the direct route, with Ciudad Deportiva the closest stop to the track. Expect it packed on race day, so budget extra time and check Metro CDMX's live service alerts (@MetroCDMX on X) the morning of, since Line 9 has a recent history of station works.
- This is the first Mexico City race under F1's biggest rule change in a generation. No more DRS. Watch the rear wing instead of listening for the DRS 'whoosh' on the straight into Turn 1: it now flattens automatically for overtaking, so the passing move will look different and the engine note on the straights will sound flatter than you remember from past years here.
