Circuit Guide

Mexico City sits at 2,200 meters above sea level, and the thin air changes everything: engines lose power, brakes overheat, and cars run maximum downforce wings that behave like Monza-spec ones. The Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez funnels the field down a 1.2 km straight into a tight first-corner complex, then through the Foro Sol stadium section, where the crowd noise rivals a World Cup final.

Watching from the US

Another Americas-friendly weekend: the race starts Sunday afternoon US time, back-to-back with Austin the week before. Watch the first lap closely — the long run to Turn 1 plus the altitude-induced braking problems makes lap-one contact more likely here than almost anywhere.
