Under the name of the Mexican Grand Prix, motorsport events have been held in Mexico at irregular intervals since 1962 on the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez race track (until 1979 Magdalena Mixhuca ) in Mexico City . Between 1963 and 1970, as well as between 1986 and 1992 and since 2015, a total of 16 races officially included in the Formula 1 World Championship were held.
history
In the first few years the length of a race lap was 5,000 km, from 1996 the converted track was driven over a length of 4,421 km, which between 2002 and 2005 had a modified route in the area of the target curve. In 2015, the track, again in a heavily modified form and now with a length of 4.304 kilometers, was again included in the racing calendar.
The first Mexican Grand Prix was held in 1962, but was not part of the world championship. The Mexican Ricardo Rodríguez had a fatal accident in training. The victory of the race was shared by Lotus drivers Jim Clark and Trevor Taylor with a total time of 2: 03: 50.9 hours. Second place was taken by Jack Brabham for his Brabham team and third place by the Lotus driver Innes Ireland . The pole position with a time of 2: 00.1 minutes and the fastest race lap in 1: 59.7 minutes was also achieved by Clark.
In 1987 the race was canceled by Derek Warwick after an accident and later restarted. The end result was the added times from both runs.
In July 2014, Bernie Ecclestone announced that a five-year contract had been signed and that Formula 1 would start again in Mexico in 2015. In 2015, the track is the second fastest on the racing calendar after the Italian Grand Prix . A special feature of the course is that the race track runs through the Foro Sol baseball stadium and the stadium's grandstands are also used for the race. The award ceremony after the race also takes place here.
The race was canceled for 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic .
