Formula 1 has finalized a three-year contract extension with promoter CIE to keep the Mexico City Grand Prix at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez on the calendar through the 2028 season. The 2025 race, scheduled for October 26, will be the final event under the current agreement before the new deal takes effect.
A Resurgent Fan Favorite
Since its revival in 2015, the Mexico GP has grown into one of F1’s most electrifying events, drawing a record 405,000 spectators last year. Despite the impending departure of Mexican driver Sergio Pérez from Red Bull after this season, organizers remained confident in the race’s appeal—a belief now validated by the extension.
Government & Promoter Commitment
The event retains strong backing from Mexican authorities, including Mexico City Mayor Clara Brugada and President Claudia Sheinbaum. Alejandro Soberón, CEO of promoter CIE, emphasized the race’s impact:
“This not only boosts Mexico City’s economy but also showcases our country globally. We’ll keep delivering an unmatched live experience, as we have for nearly a decade.”
F1’s Enthusiasm for Mexico’s “Unique Energy”
F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali praised the event’s vibrant atmosphere:
“The passion of Mexican fans creates one of the most incredible experiences in our championship.”
Recent Highlights & 2025 Schedule
Last year’s race featured a thrilling battle between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris, with Carlos Sainz claiming Ferrari’s final victory of the season. In 2025, the Mexico GP will follow Austin’s United States Grand Prix in a back-to-back Americas swing, while Brazil’s race becomes a standalone event.
