Mexico F1 Tickets

History of the Formula 1 Mexican Grand Prix

The Mexican Grand Prix first featured as an official Formula One World Championship event in 1963. It was originally held at the Magdalena Mixhuca circuit, Mexico’s first-ever international racetrack and usually acted as the season finale during this period.

Between 1970 and 1985, no Mexican Grand Prix was held. F1 returned to Mexico in 1986 to the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. In 1992, air pollution in Mexico City jeopardised the event’s hosting. The condition of the track didn’t help the cause. Safety concerns were prevalent and the circuit was incredibly bumpy. Formula One would be absent from Mexico until 2015.

The Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez remained as the venue of the Mexican Grand Prix and F1 is set to visit until 2025 at the earliest. Tickets used to sell out quickly thanks to home hero Sergio Pérez, so grab your Mexican Grand Prix tickets from Fanatix while you can.

2025 Mexican Grand Prix Summary

Lando Norris delivered a crushing performance at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, converting pole position into a 30-second victory to seize the championship lead. While Norris remained unchallenged, chaos unfolded behind him as Max Verstappen battled Lewis Hamilton, resulting in a penalty for the Mercedes driver. This allowed Haas rookie Oliver Bearman to secure a sensational career-best fourth place. Verstappen recovered to finish third behind Charles Leclerc after a late Virtual Safety Car for Carlos Sainz’s retirement neutralized the field. Oscar Piastri finished fifth, leaving him trailing Norris by a single point heading into the final four rounds.

FAQs about Mexico F1 Tickets

Where is the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez located?

The circuit is located within the Magdalena Mixhuca Sports City in the southeast of Mexico City. It is one of the highest tracks on the F1 calendar, sitting over 2,200 meters above sea level, which affects both the cars’ aerodynamics and the fans’ physical stamina.

How do I get to the circuit?

Public transport is the only way to reach the track, as there is no parking available for spectators. Use Metro Line 9 (the Brown Line) and get off at Velódromo, Ciudad Deportiva, or Puebla stations depending on your ticket zone. From these stations, it is a 10 to 15-minute walk to the gates. Taxis and Ubers can drop you nearby, but traffic is famously congested on race weekend.

What is the Zone system and how does it affect my ticket?

The circuit is strictly divided into colored zones (Green, Blue, Yellow, Grey, and Brown). Your ticket only grants access to the specific zone where your grandstand is located. For example, if you have a ticket for the Blue Zone, you cannot enter the Green Zone to visit the main Fan Zone. Each zone has its own food, drink, and merchandise stalls.

Can I bring my own food and drinks?

Outside food and beverages are not permitted inside the circuit. You are typically allowed to bring one factory-sealed plastic water bottle (up to 500ml) per person. There are plenty of stations to buy authentic Mexican street food and drinks, but be aware that the circuit usually operates on a cashless “Citibanamex” wristband system for all purchases.

What is the Foro Sol and why is it special?

The Foro Sol (split into Grey and Brown zones) is an iconic baseball stadium that the track passes through. It houses the most passionate fans and is where the podium ceremony takes place. If you want to experience the legendary “Mexico City atmosphere” and be part of the post-race party, this is the area to book.

Are the grandstands covered?

Most grandstands at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez are not covered. Given the high altitude, the sun is very intense even if the temperature feels mild. We strongly recommend high-SPF sunscreen, a hat, and a lightweight rain poncho, as afternoon thunderstorms are common in Mexico City during October.

Is there a track invasion after the race?

Yes, there is a massive track invasion, but it is primarily centered around the Foro Sol stadium area. Fans from the surrounding grandstands are allowed onto the track to watch the unique podium celebration, which features a DJ set and the winning car being lifted into the stadium via a platform.

Is the 2026 Mexico City Grand Prix a Sprint weekend?

The 2026 race is currently scheduled as a traditional Grand Prix weekend. This includes three practice sessions (two on Friday, one on Saturday), followed by Qualifying on Saturday afternoon and the main 71-lap race on Sunday.
