2026 Mexico City Grand Prix: Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez
Formula One returns to Latin America for the nineteenth round of the 2026 World Championship. Mexico City sets the stage for high-altitude racing, demanding technical challenges, and a potentially historic championship weekend from October 30 to November 1.
The pinnacle of motorsport returns to one of its most spectacular venues: the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. Known for its passionate atmosphere, long main straight, and famous Foro Sol stadium section, the Mexico City circuit offers a unique challenge for drivers and engineers alike.
Sitting approximately 2,240 meters above sea level, the circuit's thin air creates unusual aerodynamic and cooling demands. With Kimi Antonelli approaching a potential maiden Drivers' Championship, the nineteenth round could become a defining moment in the 2026 season.
