Formula 1 has signed a three-year contract extension with the Mexico City Grand Prix, meaning it will remain on the calendar through to the end of 2028.
The Autodromo Hermanos Rodríguez circuit, which was built in 1959, has been a feature on the F1 calendar since 2015, and has been a fan-favourite for it’s incredible atmosphere as well as the challenging circuit. As the track sits at over 2km above sea level, the teams and drivers have additional difficulties to tackle, making for some unpredictable racing.
Commenting on the new extension, F1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali stated:
“We are very excited to announce that the Mexico City Grand Prix will continue to be part of our calendar until 2028. Formula 1 is energy, passion and emotion, and every year the unique atmosphere created by our fans in Mexico City is one of the most incredible and energetic experiences of our championship.
“I want to express my sincere thanks to President Claudia Sheinbaum for her strong commitment to Formula 1, to the Head of Government Clara Brugada for her continued support and to Alejandro Soberón Kuri, whose leadership has been fundamental to the success of this event. I also want to thank the local stakeholders and businesses that share our vision and who make this event so special.
“We look forward to continuing this extraordinary collaboration together and seeing the incredible enthusiasm of the Mexican fans again in October.”
President and CEO of CIE, Alejandro Soberón Kuri, also noted:
“We are very excited to announce that the Mexico GP will be held for three more years. We are deeply grateful for the invaluable support of the Government of Mexico City, from the Head of Government of Mexico City, Clara Brugada, to our President, Claudia Sheinbaum, as well as Stefano Domenicali from Formula 1, who have made it possible to continue bringing Formula 1 to our country.
“This not only contributes to the economic development of Mexico City, but also promotes our city, as well as our country, in a significant way worldwide. Together, we will continue to work hard to ensure that fans get the most out of an event that offers a unique live entertainment experience, and which for almost 10 years has shown the world the quality of the events we organise in this city.”
The 2025 Mexico City Grand Prix is set to take place on 24-26 October.
