Where is the F1 Mexico City Grand Prix 2026 held?
The Mexico City Grand Prix is held at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, 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.
The Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez is 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.
Valtteri Bottas holds the lap record of 1:17.774. He clocked that time during the 2021 edition of the race, which was won by Max Verstappen.
How to get to the F1 Mexico City Grand Prix
The nearest airport to the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez is the Benito Juarez International Airport (also known as Mexico City International Airport). It is situated approximately 10 kilometres east of the circuit.
Car Rental:
At Benito Juarez International Airport, there is access to several car rental companies conveniently located within the terminals. These include, Avis, Budget and Hertz.
Taxi/ride-sharing services:
In Mexico City, travellers have several options to get around the city comfortably using taxis and ride-sharing services, with some of the more popular options being: Uber, Didi and regular Taxis (Sitio de Taxis or Taxi Libre).
Public Transportation:
To travel from Benito Juarez International Airport to the city centre of Mexico City using public transportation, you have a few options, including the Metro and the Metrobus. The Mexico City circuit also organises a Ticket2ride service. It is a shuttle service from selected locations to the circuit and back.
What to expect from the F1 Mexico Grand Prix 2026?
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 (2014-2024). He returns in his Cadillac this year, after being absent from the 2025 campaign.
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 2025 Mexico City Grand Prix was dominated by Lando Norris and the result propelled him into the lead of the Drivers’ Championship. The McLaren driver finished over 30 seconds ahead of Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen. Are we set for a dramatic renewal 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.
