About Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez
The Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez sits at roughly 2,200 metres above sea level in Mexico City, higher than any other circuit in Formula 1, and the thin air changes everything about how a car works. Aerodynamic downforce falls by around a quarter, engines and turbochargers work far harder for the same power, and cooling becomes the dominant design constraint of the weekend.
Teams respond by running their highest-downforce rear wing of the season — a Monaco-specification wing that behaves like a Monza one in this atmosphere. Even then, cars reach some of the highest top speeds of the year on the enormously long run to turn one, which makes that braking zone the principal overtaking point and a regular source of first-lap incidents.
The lap's other distinctive feature is the Foro Sol stadium section, where the circuit runs through a baseball stadium and past grandstands on both sides at the slowest part of the lap. Named after brothers Ricardo and Pedro Rodríguez, the circuit hosted Grands Prix from 1963 to 1970 and 1986 to 1992 before being rebuilt for its 2015 return.
Notable facts

- The Foro Sol section takes the circuit through a baseball stadium, with grandstands on both sides.
- Named after brothers Ricardo and Pedro Rodríguez, both of whom died racing.
