The 2024 Formula One season heads across the border from the United States this week as teams return to Central America for one of the most popular races at the Mexico City Grand Prix.
Formerly the Mexican Grand Prix and currently named for the city where it takes place, the event is back at its familiar home of Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, with the season still fascinatingly poised.
A two-horse battle at the top between Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and McLaren’s Lando Norris is the kind of marquee event few predicted when the Dutchman made another flying start to the campaign, and the former still indeed has the advantage. But, the Briton won’t go without a fight as the campaign rolls towards the year's final weeks and will be looking to further reduce his rival’s lead at the top of the standings.
With plenty of other twists and turns expected over the final few weeks of the campaign, there will be a lot at stake for many competitors further down the order, too. So, how can you watch it all unfold?
Allow GOAL to guide you through where to watch the 2024 Mexico City Grand Prix, including practice, qualification, and race.
