Mexico Grand Prix 2026 Tickets

The Mexico City Grand Prix takes place at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City and is officially titled the Formula 1 Gran Premio de la Ciudad de México. It’s one of the most vibrant, high-altitude races on the F1 calendar, combining world-class motorsport with the unique energy of Mexico’s capital.

📍 Location & Getting There

• Address: Viaducto Río Piedad & Río Churubusco s/n, Ciudad Deportiva, Mexico City C.P. 08400.

• The circuit lies in the Magdalena Mixhuca Sports City park, in the southeast of Mexico City.

• Transport tips: Public transport is highly recommended. The city’s metro system serves the area; driving is possible but parking, traffic and road closures around race weekend make it less convenient.

• Nearest major airport: Mexico City International Airport (Aeropuerto Internacional Benito Juárez) – you’ll likely stay in the city and travel to the track via metro, taxi or shuttle.

🕰 History

• The Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez first hosted a Formula 1 event in 1963.

• After a hiatus, F1 returned to this venue in 2015 and the Mexico City Grand Prix quickly became a fan-favourite.

• The circuit and event are celebrated for their unique character — from the high altitude to the famous “Foro Sol stadium” section which transforms into part of the track.

🔧 The Circuit

• Length: ~4.304 km (2.674 miles) per lap.

• Number of turns: 17.

• Unique challenge: The track sits at over 2,200 metres above sea level. The thin air affects engine performance, aerodynamics and tires.

• Spectacular sections: The main straight offers dramatic speeds into turn 1; the stadium section (Foro Sol) creates a distinct atmosphere with cars flying past surrounded by stands full of enthusiastic fans.

🎉 What to Expect on Race Day

• A lively, colourful fan experience with passionate spectators (often called one of F1’s most vibrant venues) thanks to the local culture and energy.

• Grandstand and general admission tickets will afford views of key areas: start/finish line, long straight, stadium section, etc.

• Consider arriving early: during the weekend, the circuit is very busy and getting around can take time.

• The city of Mexico offers plenty to explore before/after the race — it’s more than just a race day, it can be a full weekend getaway.

✅ Tips for Fans

• Pack for the altitude: Because of the high elevation, drink plenty of water and allow time to acclimatise.

• Wear comfortable shoes: You’ll likely walk from metro or shuttle, and there’s plenty of standing or walking between zones.

• Choose your seat/view wisely: If you’re after atmosphere, stands in the stadium zone are incredible; if you want pure racing view, those along the straight or around turn 1 may suit better.

• Use public transport: The metro and buses are the best way to access the track — avoid driving if you can.

• Book accommodation early: The city sees a surge in visitors for the event; staying centrally gives you flexibility.

• Enjoy the culture: Combine your race trip with food, sightseeing, and the local vibe in Mexico City.

🧾 Things to Know

• There are multiple entrances (14 gates) around the circuit — check which one corresponds to your ticket/grandstand.

• Check the grandstand maps and ticket types: seats vary by coverage (roof/none), screen visibility, and view angle.

• Because of the high altitude, cars require special engine and aerodynamics setups — which often means interesting on-track performance and strategic surprises.

• Confirm your race weekend schedule, days included (practice/qualifying/race), and any transport/shuttle arrangements.
