Mexico City Grand Prix Set for Oct. 24–26 as Teams Arrive and Title Fight Narrows

Organizers say the event is in the black under a private trust and secured on the calendar through 2028, with Mexico City’s business chamber projecting a roughly 20.9 billion‑peso economic boost.

Overview

  • More than 50 tonnes of F1 cargo have reached Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez from Austin, including cars, key components, Pirelli tyres, and FIA safety and broadcast equipment.
  • The weekend will run without a sprint race, with practice Friday, qualifying Saturday, and lights out for the Grand Prix at 14:00 local time on Sunday.
  • Broadcasters in Mexico will carry extensive coverage, with Sky Sports airing the full program and Canal 5 showing Practice 2, qualifying, and the race free-to-air.
  • The race comes as Max Verstappen’s recent form has closed the gap to McLaren’s Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, and Red Bull says it is working to give him the best possible car for Mexico.
  • Williams’ Carlos Sainz will serve a five-place grid penalty for the race following his collision in Austin, after stewards rejected his explanation.
