Where is the F1 Mexico City Grand Prix 2025 held?
The 2025 Mexico City Grand Prix will take place on Sunday, October 26.
The race is held at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City, as it always has been, though the track was known as the Magdalena Mixhuca before 1979.
The circuit was first opened in 1959 and the current version still largely follows the outline of the original circuit. However, the modern set-up, which is approximately 2.6 miles (4.3 kilometres) long, has the track winding through a former baseball stadium, providing one of the most stunning backdrops of the F1 year.
Valtteri Bottas holds the lap record of 1:17.774, which he clocked during the 2021 edition of the race, which was won by Max Verstappen.
The Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez is also over 2200 metres above sea level, making the Grand Prix a breathless experience for the drivers. The F1 teams also have plenty to ponder, as the thin air affects engine performance and aerodynamics.

What to expect from the F1 Mexico Grand Prix 2025?
During the 1970s, the Mexican Grand Prix was a focal point of F1's golden era, attracting immense crowds and delivering thrilling entertainment. A factor that led to its recent revival in popularity and fortune was the success of Mexican driver Sergio Perez, who finished runner-up to Max Verstappen in the 2023 F1 Championship and recorded top-10 finishes in the drivers’ standings for eleven consecutive years. He may be missing from the 2025 campaign, but he is set to return next year for the new Cadillac Formula 1 team in its debut season, alongside Valtteri Bottas. The only other Mexican to claim an F1 race victory was Pedro Rodriguez in 1970. He sadly died a year later after a race incident, but his legacy lives on as the Mexico City circuit was renamed in honour of him and his brother, Ricardo (another former F1 driver), in 1979.
The Autodromo Hermanos Rodríguez is a stunning circuit and one that F1 enthusiasts need to experience in the flesh at least once in their lives. Set right in the centre of Mexico’s capital city, the track is characterised by its enormous 1.2km main straight, one of the longest of the whole F1 year, on which the modern F1 cars can clock speeds of up to 330km/h. Another standout feature is the Foro Sol stadium section, where the cars drive through a bowled grandstand.
The 2024 renewal of the Mexican City Grand Prix proved to be a dramatic affair. Despite enduring some early pressure from Max Verstappen, pole-sitter, Carlos Sainz Jr, went on to secure victory for Ferrari. The race was notable for contentious incidents, particularly between the title-challenging pair of Lando Norris and Max Verstappen. The Dutch world champion was made to serve penalties by the stewards during the race, which saw him slip down the field. Charles Leclerc almost made it a memorable 1-2 for Ferrari, but Norris would snatch second after a mistake from the Monaco man several laps from the finish. Are we set for more driving dramas this time around? Don’t delay, if you want to join the masses at one of the most memorable days in the Mexican sporting calendar.
