The Formula 1 Mexico City Grand Prix is set for Sunday, 26 October 2025, at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, starting at 8:55 AM. Event organizers report that ticket demand is already high, and seats in the Foro Sol section are particularly popular. The weekend also includes practice and qualifying sessions.
Why this Grand Prix matters to Mexico City
Racing at over 2,200 meters above sea level presents unique challenges for the teams, as the thin air impacts aerodynamics, cooling, and fuel use. The event attracts many visitors, highlighting the Granjas México and Magdalena Mixhuca park areas. Drivers frequently praise the incredible energy from the crowd, often calling it one of the most memorable atmospheres of the season.
Foro Sol: the vibrant stadium section
Toward the end of the lap, cars drive through the Foro Sol, a former concert venue that now serves as a stadium section, with thousands of fans enclosing the track. This unique viewpoint allows spectators to see decisive late-race overtakes and the post-race celebrations up close, explaining why tickets for this area are always in high demand.
What to expect on race day at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez
The 4.304 km circuit features a long start-finish straight, a technical middle section, and a tight opening chicane that encourages bold overtaking maneuvers. Given the early 8:55 AM start time, gates and security will likely be crowded, so planning ahead is a good idea to make sure you’re in your seat before the formation lap begins.
Key moments that can decide the winner
The race outcome is often influenced by car setup for the altitude, wing choices, and tire temperatures. While Sunday’s race is the main event, the action on Friday and Saturday determines the starting grid. Many fans who go to the qualifying session say it’s one of the best parts of the weekend.
How to get there and when to arrive
The circuit is located in the eastern part of the city. Using public transport is recommended: Metro Line 9 stops at Ciudad Deportiva, Puebla, and Velódromo stations, all of which are a short walk from the circuit entrances. Traffic near the venue can be very congested on race days, so arriving early with a planned route will help you avoid long lines.
Grandstands and views: which seats suit you?
Seats along the straights are great for fans who want to see slipstream battles and top speeds, whereas grandstands at the technical corners highlight driver skill in braking and maneuvering. Ticket demand is high, so if the official sale is over, it’s worth checking verified resale platforms. Just be sure to review the terms of purchase.
Family areas and accessibility
Many Formula 1 circuits have designated family-friendly areas that offer easier access and are close to amenities. When purchasing tickets, look for these clearly marked zones and be sure to check the accessibility information from the seller.
Weather and altitude: plan smart
The weather in Mexico City in late October is usually pleasant, but mornings can be cool, and the sun is stronger at high altitude. It’s a good idea to dress in layers, stay hydrated, and pick a meeting spot for your group to make leaving after the race easier.
