The Formula 1 season continues in Mexico City for the second race of the triple-header! The Mexican Grand Prix is known for its passionate fans, unique atmosphere and the challenges of racing at high altitude. With the championship battle heating up, all eyes will be on the drivers as they take on the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. Who will come out on top this weekend?ons.
Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez
The Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez is located in Mexico City and offers a unique challenge for the Formula 1 drivers. The circuit is 4.304 kilometres long and features 17 corners, combining long straights with technical sections that require precision and good car control.
One of the biggest challenges is the circuit's high altitude. The thin air affects engine performance, aerodynamic downforce and cooling, making it difficult for teams to find the right balance. The long main straight gives drivers the opportunity to reach high speeds, but the heavy braking zones, especially at Turn 1, provide opportunities for overtaking.
A highlight of the lap is the stadium section, where the track winds through the Foro Sol area. Surrounded by thousands of passionate fans, this part of the circuit creates one of the most recognisable atmospheres on the Formula 1 calendar.

How can Kimi become world champion in Mexico?
Kimi Antonelli has another chance to become World Champion this weekend! After coming incredibly close to securing the title in Austin, where he took the victory but missed out on the championship due to the results of his rivals, the young Italian heads to Mexico with another opportunity to make history.
So, what does he need to do? The good news for Antonelli is that he only needs to score two points to secure the title. A ninth-place finish would be enough to crown him World Champion, regardless of where his closest rivals, George Russell and Lewis Hamilton, finish. Even if he fails to score, he could still clinch the championship if neither rival wins the race.
With his championship lead now so substantial, the pressure is no longer on Antonelli to win every race. Instead, he is just one step away from achieving something truly special. Can Kimi get the job done in Mexico City and become the youngest World Champion in Formula 1 history?
