About Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez
Located in Mexico City, the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez is named in honour of the Mexican racing brothers Pedro and Ricardo Rodríguez. It first hosted the Mexican Grand Prix in the 1960s, then returned for a second spell from 1986 to 1992, before a long absence ended with its celebrated comeback in 2015 as a fully modernised facility.
The circuit's defining feature is its extreme altitude. Sitting at roughly 2,200 metres above sea level, it is by far the highest track in Formula 1. The thin air reduces aerodynamic downforce, cooling efficiency and engine performance, presenting engineers with a set of challenges found nowhere else on the calendar.
Since its return, the venue has become known for its electric atmosphere, particularly the stadium section, where grandstands packed with Mexican fans wrap tightly around the track to create one of the most colourful and intense backdrops in modern F1.
Memorable Moments
- 1964: The season finale here decided a three-way title fight, with John Surtees taking the championship to become the only person to win world titles on both two and four wheels.
- 2015: Mexico's Grand Prix made an emotional return after 23 years away, with Nico Rosberg winning in front of a passionate sell-out crowd.
- 2017: Lewis Hamilton wrapped up his fourth World Championship here despite a first-lap clash and a recovery drive from the back of the field.
- 2021: Max Verstappen converted a brilliant getaway into a dominant win, a key result on his way to that year's title.
Track Character
The circuit combines a very long pit straight, which produces some of the highest top speeds of the season thanks to the thin air, with a twisty infield and the famous stadium section, where the track threads through the old Foro Sol baseball arena. The high altitude forces teams to run maximum downforce wings that still behave like low-downforce setups, making the cars tricky to balance and hard on brakes and engines. Overtaking is concentrated into the long run to Turn 1, while the stadium creates a unique cauldron of noise and colour. The blend of straight-line speed, technical corners and altitude makes this one of the most distinctive engineering tests in Formula 1.
