The Mexico Grand Prix will stay on the F1 calendar until 2028 as the international organization indicated on Wednesday.
Mexican supporters can rejoice, Formula 1 will continue on the Rodriguez brothers circuit until 2028. The news fell and the three -year extension pronounced by the organization. Back in the calendar since 2015, the Mexico Grand Prix extends pleasure.
“We are very excited to announce that Mexico City will continue to share our calendar until 2028. F1 is energy, passion and emotion, and each year the unique atmosphere created by Mexican fans is one of the most incredible of the season,” said Stefano Domenicali, the president of F1. This year, the Grand Prix is scheduled for October 26, just after that of the United States and just before that of São Paulo.
A huge craze
With 405,000 spectators who came in 2024 during the events organized around the Mexico Circuit, the latter is one of the most appreciated by fans and pilots. The craze around the 20th Grand Prix of the Year on the calendar is remarkable each year. President Domenicali notably praised the president Claudia Sheinbaum and the head of government Clara Brugada for their commitment to Formula 1 and already says he is impatient to continue the adventure.
Dating from 1959 with a 4.3 km round, the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez circuit is unique. Pilots are due to face the altitude-2 km above sea level-and wind through the mythical Estadio section, an old baseball speaker where 60,000 spectators meet. Last year, Carlos Sainz won before Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc.
An extension despite the Perez uncertainty?
The announcement of the extension of Mexico City until 2028 did not wait for a potential return of Sergio Perez. Obviously ousted by Red Bull last year, it was feared that the absence of the pilot falls to the future contract between F1 and the Grand Prix of Mexico. It is not the case and Perez could even return to the paddock under another banner. While rumors about his signature at Cadillac-the stable will be present in 2026-go well, Perez should be present this weekend during the Miami Grand Prix. A first appearance since the end of 2024. Cadillac has already announced the organization of a “cultural show” which should close the race in Florida.
