The 2026 Formula 1 season continues with the Mexico City Grand Prix at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, the 19th round of the calendar, taking place from October 30 to November 1. Following his recent win at the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Andrea Kimi Antonelli now needs only two points in Mexico City to secure his first F1 World Championship. If Antonelli finishes in ninth place or better, he will clinch the title regardless of the performance of his closest competitors, George Russell and Lewis Hamilton. This achievement would make him the youngest-ever F1 champion at age 20, surpassing Sebastian Vettel’s record, and Italy’s first World Champion since 1953.

The Mexico City circuit has a rich history, with the first Grand Prix held there in 1963. The track is 4.304 kilometers long with 17 turns and covers a race distance of 305.354 kilometers over 71 laps. Notable records include Max Verstappen holding the most driver wins with five, and Red Bull leading as the constructor with five victories. The fastest lap recorded at the track is 1:17.774 by Valtteri Bottas in 2021. Last year’s winner was Lando Norris, marking a key highlight for McLaren.
