ABOUT THE Mexican Grand Prix

The circuit that hosts the Mexican Grand Prix today isn’t the same racetrack that was built under the order of President Adolfo Lopez Mateo in the early 70s. Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s no more the same iconic track that hosted races as early as 1962 under the Magdalena Mixhuca name. Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez has many outstanding features, but its 2 km elevation above the sea level makes for some great views when your eyes aren’t glued to the 71 lap race.

 

The Mexican Grand Prix is a 305 km race that, since the alterations to the Hermanos Rodriguez Circuit, has seen a slight variation in which countries cross the finish line first. Though the nation’s own drivers haven’t seen much luck, Max Verstappen of the Netherlands dominated the 2017 and 2018 Mexican Grand Prix. 2018 also proved a record-breaking year for Finland’s Valtteri Bottas and the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez with a new lap record of 1:18.741.

 

To get the best seats at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, attendees will want to spring for a spot in the Foro Sol, or the baseball stadium found within Turns 1 and 2. Here is a premier view of the race, including a close enough spot to see the drivers as they speed through the stadium. At the Foro Sol, spectators will also get to witness the podium ceremony.

 

Mexico City has proven to be a suitable city for the Formula Grand Prix, providing attendees with plenty to see and experience when they’re not enjoying the adrenaline of the race. The circuit itself is located just outside of the heart of the city and is only a metro ride away, making it possible to not have to worry about race day parking. As for what the city has to offer guests, there is quite a lot to immerse oneself in beyond the day of the race. The food is an abundant mix of spicy and fresh flavors, including antojitos, or “little cravings” of tacos, tortas, and tamales. No matter where you eat, be sure to bring a bottle of water and avoid tap water.

 

The city is a historic wonder filled with cultural gems, including the Plaza de la Constitucion, the National Palace, the Metropolitan Cathedral, and Alameda Park. The Templo Mayo is another historic wonder as one of the primary temples of Tenochtitlan Aztec city. To enjoy the outdoors – and in October, you’ll want to – make a stop at Bosque de Chapultepec, the city’s largest park.

 

The Mexican Grand Prix is sure to bring the thrills expected from the Mexico City race. Attendees will enjoy a cultural wonder of a city and a thrilling race sure to elevate the last few Grand Prix of the season.
