Formula 1 Extends Contract with Mexico City Grand Prix until 2028
Get ready for more high-octane action as the Mexico City Grand Prix secures a three-year extension, keeping it on the Formula 1 calendar until 2028! The 2025 race at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez marks the end of its current contract, but promoter CIE has successfully negotiated new terms with F1.
A Popular Event on the Calendar
Since its revival in 2015, the Mexico City Grand Prix has grown into one of the most popular events on the Formula 1 calendar. Last year’s edition broke records, attracting a staggering 405,000 spectators over the weekend!
With home hero Sergio Perez’s departure from Red Bull and F1, organizers were confident that interest in the event would remain high. Now, their confidence has been validated as promoters secure a new deal for 2026, 2027, and 2028 under the current moniker of Mexico City Grand Prix.
Government Support and Collaboration
The continued success of the event is due in large part to the support of the Government of Mexico City. Alejandro Soberon, the president and CEO of CIE, expressed his gratitude towards the government, particularly Clara Brugada, Claudia Sheinbaum, and Stefano Domenicali from Formula 1.
This partnership not only contributes to the economic development of Mexico City but also promotes the city and country on a global scale. Together, they will work tirelessly to ensure fans continue to enjoy an unparalleled live entertainment experience.
Excitement for the Future
Stefano Domenicali, CEO of Formula 1, shared his excitement about the continued presence of the Mexico City Grand Prix on the calendar through the 2028 season. He emphasized that the unique atmosphere created by fans in Mexico City is one of the most incredible and energetic experiences of the championship.
Last year’s grand prix was marked by a thrilling battle between title protagonists Max Verstappen and Lando Norris, with Carlos Sainz securing his final win for Ferrari in emphatic fashion. The 2025 event is scheduled for Sunday, 26 October as the second part of a double-header with Austin’s United States Grand Prix, with the following Brazilian Grand Prix now a standalone event.
